[gentoo-user] 回复： [gentoo-user] Why can't I set the resolution of console ?
I rebuild my kernel ,I chose extra options which are contact with VESA ： [*]VESA VGA graphics support [*]Userspace VESA VGA graphics support [*]ATI Radeon display support I'm sure that the vesa frame buffer support option was chosen by default. Then I write grub.conf like this: root=/dev/sda6 video=1024x768M@60m It is what the document in source tree exactly shows. The system can start up and there is no error message ,but resolution no changed . Why it would be this? How can I figure it out? -- 原始邮件 -- 发件人: Andrey Moshbearandrey@gmail.com; 发送时间: 2011年10月20日(星期四) 下午2:06 收件人: gentoo-usergentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org; 主题: Re: [gentoo-user] Why can't I set the resolution of console ?

There is an issue happened in my buiding kernel : I hadn't found the driver for my video card. I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with this issue? BTW, my video card information is below: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP (ATI Radeon 4330 series)

I just checked my system and found that there is no V86d utility. It is wired because I remember the vesa option was chosen by default :-( . What should I do now? Should I rebuild my kernel or compiled vesa into module ? -- 原始邮件 -- 发件人: Andrey Moshbearandrey@gmail.com; 发送时间: 2011年10月20日(星期四) 下午2:06 收件人: gentoo-usergentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org; 主题: Re: [gentoo-user] Why can't I set the resolution of console ?

Why are you using atyfb instead of (u)vesafb? Anyhow, uvesafb's plusses over vesafb are: 1. Proper blanking and hardware suspension after delay 2. Support for custom resolutions as in the system BIOS. ( ArchLinux wiki) Its minus is the requirement of adding /sbin/v86d to the initrd/initramfs. Also, please avoid top-posting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting ). Bottom-posting increases readability.

I searched the parametres though the documents in kernel source tree. The document shows just like what I wrote . -- 原始邮件 -- 发件人: Bill Kenworthybi...@iinet.net.au; 发送时间: 2011年10月20日(星期四) 下午2:52 收件人: gentoo-usergentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org; 主题: Re: [gentoo-user] Why can't I set the resolution of console ?
