[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6test11+ framebuffer + nvidia
Hi guys, did anyone manage to get framebuffer going with the latest 2.6 kernel? I have tried all kinds of options, recompiled about 10 times and still can only boot without framebuffer , when I supply the vga argument I get a darkscreen although machine boots. Some options even cause a completet lockup. I can only boot and watch messages if I don't supply the vga=xxx argument. I have a GeForce4 MX 440 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yeah, looks like the only working option is to use the vesafb , I tried rivafb and vga16 and the other settings for console framebuffer ad so on, just didn't think vesa would do.
