| |
Not sure how/if this is relevant to this list but here goes:
I have the frame buffer working (has been for a couple months now). When I run the XF68_FBDev X server I get a virtual desktop that's vertical only. I know nothing of graphics and have no idea how/if this can be fixed.
Is there a way to get the virtual desktop to behave the same as it would for a standard XF86Config with virtual desktop enabled?
Info: ----
ATI Xpert@Work 8 MB using vesa frame buffer (no, the atyfb won't work, tried it numerous times: Dec 30 21:12:49 rd kernel: atyfb: Unknown mach64 0x0000).
