RE: [gentoo-user] nVidia GeForce 5900 FX Ultra
I didn't miss the VESA, but I did not include the riva support. Is the GeForce family suppose to fall under the Riva chipset support? -Original Message- From: Javier Villavicencio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] nVidia GeForce 5900 FX Ultra On Thu, 6 Nov 2003 10:08:59 -0600 Cody Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having a little difficulty with the framebuffer under the 2.6.0-test9-bk10 kernel with this card.

I have frame buffer console support compiled with both basic vga and 16 colors and video mode selection compiled in. didn't you missed the VESA Framebuffer support? or maybe nvidia riva framebuffer support? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Is the GeForce family suppose to fall under the Riva chipset support? If you look at the help for this option, it states All Riva and Geforce chipsets. BEWARE: If you use the riva chipset option and the nvidia drivers, X will experience problems like lockups and not working correctly. I have GeForce 4 and use the vesa framebuffer without issues. Try vga=0x791. It is a hex base number... - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x7D81740A -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qo47ZosHVX2BdAoRApnJAJ9Orgilj4b8nN+CVwpZM4AQYHfyWACfUIaj KS9VmMPN+OAsCMMW4vuRjEg= =1B9C -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You'll need to google or search the archives. My understanding (could be wrong) is that framebuffer and nvidia are not a good mix (doesn't work?) with the 2.6 kernels. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Only with the rivafb - as I mentioned, vesafb works fine (although it is spotty from kernel to kernel). I am running 2.6.0-test9-mm1 using the vesafb with the nvidia drivers with ZERO problems. This was not true with -test7 and test-8. The card in question is vesa compliant, so it *should* work just fine. - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x7D81740A -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qpEtZosHVX2BdAoRAgucAJsEWCzU8mlWU/fnOGLTtPcLCbC1SQCfUpsC Q4sXOsznNnxrpPTshcOiIv0= =cTtI -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
