Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0
I guess I have to give it a try, but I doubt it will help. It just monitored overnet again during 1h time period, again after recompile of glibc the app needs about 20%cpu time after it has build up a couple of connections. So I think it has to do with the new implementation of the TCP Stack, since cpu time increases a lot as soon as you have a couple of connections. - Original Message - From: "Thomas T.

Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0
therein lies the problem. im not using an nvidia anything. im using a matrox parhelia (which somehow i doubt is supported by the matroxfb. but anyway.. when i get home im going to replace my vga= line with video=matrox:vesa:0x1BF to see if that helps. vga= just looks like its asking for problems (in its simplicity. i mean come on.. who ever heard of any option in anything ever just taking a single paramter which controls screen res, color depth, and fb.. etc... its just tooo easy..). i do have all of the proper config options enabled. thank you for your advice though. if this doesnt work ill go back and rtfm some more. maybe find that one kernel opt i missed. on another note.. would you have any idea about the mouse probs, or what driver i should compile for a generic ac97 onboard soundcard? thanks. frank SN wrote: You have to use certain options for the kernel config, just do a search in the mailinglist archive for nvidia framebuffer and you will find the correct options you have to use.

Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0
You have to use certain options for the kernel config, just do a search in the mailinglist archive for nvidia framebuffer and you will find the correct options you have to use. By the way I'm running 2.6 stable since yesterday, on my box everything is working X, nvidia drivers, sensors, alsa, sysfs. I just have one little issue at the moment, one programm while running needs about 20% of cpu time now with the old kernel it was between 5-10 percent, I'm just recompiling glibc and xfree to see if that helps. - Original Message - From: "Frank J.

Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0
I've got the same problem as you. And it's a big problem for my eyes, I was very happy when I was going to run the 2.6.0 when I saw that. :( Could anyone give us a solution?

Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0
I have this same issue. I use 795 i think for 1600x1200 and i get the same blank screen. i know that someone mentioned something about their nvidia drivers or something but im using a plain jane matrox parheila 512 card and have never needed any external drivers.. not only that but when i take away the vga parameter (which im sure you must have tried) and gdm starts up.. if i ctl-alt-Fx anything.. i get a garbled output... its like all the vtermals are corrupted after any g/xdm starts... i would love to know a solution to this because its one of the few things hanging me up with the 2.6 kernel (that and i cant find the post on how to get 2.4 mouse behavior or how to get alsa working on generic ac97 onboard soundcard)... thanks, frank sorry for my poor english - im not usually that lazy. its just that its 3:30 am and i have work in 2 hours... and still need to sleep.
