Re: changing console framebuffer modes
John Kerr Anderson (JKA) writes: JKA This is what happens when I try to run the commands: fbset JKA 640x480-72 JKA error message: ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument JKA or JKA fbset --all 640-480-72 gives the same exact error message. JKA Is there something that is not set up properly? Any suggestions JKA would be helpful! :-) May be you compiled only frambuffer support and none of framebuffer drivers? You should compile vesa or one of the framebuffer drivers for supported chipsets. Do you run these commands as root and from linux console? If you compiled drivers as modules do you load drivers (e.g. with modprobe) before fbset? I have no other ideas. fbset worked fine for me when I used framebuffer. -- Alexander Zhuckov [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2:5030/518.50
Re: changing console framebuffer modes
John Kerr Anderson (JKA) writes: JKA Hi, I have an IBM PC 350 w/S3 Trio 64 video chip-set running JKA Debian 2.2 and kernel version 2.4.0. I have the frame buffer JKA device activated but would like a higher refresh rate than 60 JKA Hz. I read the man pages for fbset and /etc/fb.modes with JKA no luck on how to change the refresh rate/resolution. I noticed JKA in the file /etc/fb.modes there are several generic console JKA modes. How can I tell fbset to utilise the modes in JKA /etc/fb.modes? Suppose you have in fb.mode: mode 800x600-100 ... than you can try to set it for current console with the following command: fbset 800x600-100 or for all consoles: fbset --all 800x600-100 -- Alexander Zhuckov [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2:5030/518.50
