Hi Bruce: - Bruce: What I have is CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y
If they are not set, then /dev/fb0 does not show up. What happens for me is that the kernel dialog starts and at about 0.5 seconds shifts into frambuffer mode. I don't know how to prevent it if those options are set, but you can control it by putting something like video=1366x768 on the kernel command line (that's my monitor resolution). - Alex: I had CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m. Made it y. Great minds: 1366x768 is my preferred resolution too. Still NO CIGAR. - Bruce: Now I'm not sure if the above are the only kernel issues. Bruce Alex original --------------------------------- ------------- CONFIG_FB_VESA=y NO CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=y m CONFIG_FB=y same # CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set y # CONFIG_FB_DDC is not set same CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y NO CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y m CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y m CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y m has /dev/fb0 but the one that has # CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not set does not have /dev/fb0. - Alex: I brought all the above CONFIGs in line with yours but still NO CIGAR. - Bruce: In any case, I'd suggest trying to disable the switch to graphical mode during boot (if it's not already disabled) and see if that makes a difference. - Alex: Which is the switch to graphical mode, "Enable modesetting on intel by default"? Lost cause. I've survived other indignities in life (sacrifices are sometimes necessary for human progress).
