Hi...
I have a (stupid, I suppose) problem with framebuffer console. I have builtin VESAFB in this kernel, so:
werewolf:/boot# grep _FB config-2.6.21-jam09 | grep =y CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y werewolf:/boot# grep CONSO config-2.6.21-jam09 # CONFIG_NETCONSOLE is not set CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING is not set CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY is not set # CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION is not set
I put this line in grub's menu.lst:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap vga=0x31A ro root=/dev/sdc1
(tried both with hex and decimal).
but grub keeps telling me it can't set that video mode, and I have no /dev/fb0 device to try with fbset. I have a '29 fb' line in /proc/devices.
Any ideas about why the device is missing ? udev is 113... I have followed al the info I could get (linux/Documentation/fb/, Google ;) ) and all say that what I'm doing should work. What am I doing wrong ?
TIA
