I definitely tried that (just tried it again with the base as well as 0.2.0-rc3b) and it doesn't work.
Again, I think this is a fundamental problem right now that needs to be tested and fixed. I'm willing to test and try things out, build drivers, kernels, etc., but I've had a few private E-mails that reinforce the comments I've made here saying that yes, there is a problem and it needs to be corrected. I'm willing to help out, try stuff, tweak code, etc. Thanks, --Matt On Wed, 29 Dec 2004, Michael Cheshire (Mailing Lists) wrote: |>Matt, |> |>I was having exactly the problems you were, until I put vga=792 in the kernel |>boot line. |> |>Something about the new kernels using the first framebuffer device without |>actually capturing /dev/fb0, and therefore ivtv_fb crashes quite badly when it |>tries to grab it also. |> |>Try that. |> |>----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt D.
