Voodoo 3 2000 framebuffer problem
Hi all :) Linux Kernel 2.4.29, in a do-it-yourself linux box, equipped with an AGP Voodoo 3 2000 card, tdfx framebuffer support. I boot in vga mode 0x0f05, with parameter 'video=tdfx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and I get (correctly) 100x37 character grid. All of that is correct. What is not correct is the characters attributes, namely the 'blink' attribute. If I use the tdfx framebuffer (I've tested some more resolutions), I lose the blinking text (which I use, for example, for marking my dangling symlinks in 'ls' or 'zsh'). Is this a bug, a feature or just a mistake I'm consistently making? In addition to this, at boot time the background in the lines around the cute penguin logo is white and not black as it should... Thanks a lot in advance. Feel free to ask for more details, tests, etc. Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 http://www.dervishd.net & http://www.pleyades.net/ It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
