Re: CGA adapter
Hi,
perhaps not, but I have found what I was looking for. I overlooked the
kernel option MDA_CONSOLE. After I set the RGB emulation OFF on the card,
I could use the CGA monitor as an extra console (for displaying syslog).
However, the card refuses to work in my P200, it works fine in an old 486.
Greetz,

Re: CGA adapter
You can't do multimonitor on the ISA bus.

CGA adapter
Hello, I have installed an old CGA video card in my computer, next to my VGA card. The system boots with (view on, I mean) the VGA card. When I load the modules fbcon-hga.o and hgafb.o, the CGA card takes over the video output and the VGA card drops dead (well, it stops working). When I start X, X is displayed through the VGA card on the VGA monitor. So then I have two views: X on VGA and a console on CGA. But, when I am under X, the console stops working, until I switch to console mode. I want to use the CGA as a logscreen for syslogd. So, how can you let the CGA card working while you are under X, or how must you configure Linux when you want to use two videocards in general? Thanks in advance, Sebastiaan -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
