My .config for my current 2.6.9 kernel... ------------------------------------------ $ grep FB .config # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y # CONFIG_FB_CIRRUS is not set # CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set # CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set # CONFIG_FB_ASILIANT is not set # CONFIG_FB_IMSTT is not set # CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set CONFIG_FB_VESA=y # CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set # CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set # CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON_OLD is not set # CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set # CONFIG_FB_SIS is not set # CONFIG_FB_NEOMAGIC is not set # CONFIG_FB_KYRO is not set # CONFIG_FB_3DFX is not set # CONFIG_FB_VOODOO1 is not set # CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT is not set CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL=m
One entry in my menu.lst for grub looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------
title Greg's Debian 2.6.9 February 6th HD0 (Clean)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.9.Feb_6th root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0 vga=ask
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.9.Feb_6th
savedefault
boot
I have tried all sorts of settings on the kernel line like the following: vga=0x301 vga=0x312 vga=0x305 vga=0x318 vga=792 vga=769 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=ask
none of them seem to work except the crappy 80x25, unless I boot to a default kernel that was pre-made and came with AMD64. I've followed all the information listed on this (http://www.linuxforums.org/tutorials/1/tutorial-3523.html) and other sites trying to get it working. I have all the options enabled in the kernel that should be, it seems pretty straight forward but geeze! I'll have to try the video=vga16:off thing. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
-Greg
