Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: normal
Hello,
I have tried to use intel framebuffer with this build, with no success.
The tested modules are: i810fb or intelfb (only one of them at the same time,
of course)
The problem is: I can get module to load, but it does nothing:
- i810fb does not write any message at all.
- intelfb says it cannot acquire agp (in the best case).
I have tried to load the module from a init 1 (single user) session,
running "modprobe <module> <parameters>" with parameters as described in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17.6/Documentation/fb/ files (intel810.txt, intelfb.txt).
I have also tried creating a new initrd image, including the module (i810fb
or intelfb) (--> edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and run "update-initrmfs
-u"),
and also including kernel option (video=<module>:....) at boot time
(--> edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, run "update-grub", run "grub-install hd0").
However nothing above worked, as I have just told.
After searching the Internet for similar reports, I guess the problem could
be these framebuffer drivers are compiled as modules, and vesafb (builtin
in this kernel build) blocks them ?
Perhaps vesafb should also be compiled as module?
Or all framebuffer drivers should be included inside the kernel?
My system is a HP centrino laptop, 1,4Ghz and 512MB RAM.
Thank you,
Daniel R.
