[gentoo-user] uvesafb problem
Hi, guys! I want to have higher resolution in console. I used vesa-tng before and now I have update the kernel to 2.6.23 and I guess I should use uvesafb instead of vesa-tng. I have followed the guide here http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/, and Here is the options I have chose in config file about the FB thing: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_DDC=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_UVESA=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_FB_INTEL=y CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C=y and in the menu.lst file, I append video=uvesafb:1024x768 (PS: I have tried video=uvesafb:1024x768-32 and some other similar parameter, too) to the kernel command line. But after I rebooted, the resolution was still very low, which I guess was 800x640, and I couldn't see anything changed. PS: My machine is Dell 1400 laptop and use x86_64 arch. I use tuxonice-sources and I have also tried gentoo-source to test the uvesafb. Any help is appreciated! -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] uvesafb problem
Just making sure you didn't read his line incorrectly, but I think Justin was telling to go back to the VESA driver as opposed to the uvesa one. If you are set on uvesa did you try the line video=uvesafb:1024x768 or is that what you implied in the note about it not working. thanks and good luck On Jan 15, 2008 7:40 AM, Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, On Jan 15, 2008 7:25 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: just use video=vesafb:1024x768 I tried, and it doesn't work. :) justin On Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:44:39 +0800, Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, guys!

I just added this option you suggest, and now I have small characters in the console. Thank you very much!

It gonna work with the kernel paramters vga=0x318 for 1024x768, the kernel configs framebuffer and the vesa driver too. David -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
