Hello out there
Yerstoday I have tried to use the new FB console code with the above mentioned graphics card. There results where as follows:
1. Selectiong the vesa mode 0318 upon boot works fine. The pinguin logo shows nicely and I have a 1000x1000 character console.
2. Selecting iso8859-2 as console font seems to work too.
3. For whichever reason the keyboard setup code for polish programmers fails. For example Alt-l doesn't give me anylonger l/ (l-stroke) but instead the turkish t, (t-ogonek)! Supposedly this is a damn unicode result.
4. startx results in a black screen of death. No console switching. So Ctrl-Alt-Backspace rescue. No blind command input. However Ctrl-Alt-Delete still seems to work.
Oh and yes I was attempting to use the X86_SVGA server with this setup...
What to do about it? Marcin ========================================================================= In real life: System Programmer at AIS AXON GmbH
