I'm trying to get my console screen to display in 1024x768, and I'm having some trouble. I've compiled into my 2.2.19 kernel the following: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y # CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set CONFIG_FB_VESA=y # CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y # CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set # CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set # CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED is not set CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y # CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY is not set # CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS is not set CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
And, I put vga=ask in lilo.conf, so I can play with the different choices of resolutions. My video chip is the ATI Rage Mobility M1 in a Dell Latitude CPx. This part works on every setting, and my favorite is 317 which is 1024x768 and 64k. fbset returns... mode "1024x768-76" # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16 timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4 rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 endmode Now the problem...When I startx, all goes haywire. I get a nice splash of every color with a lava-lamp effect. I can't change back to the console, because that's infected too. I have to reboot and use one of the 640x480 settings to get X to run right. I suspect that the console and X modes are butting heads, and I've had a recommendation to match them up, but I can't figure out how to do that yet. Any help will be much appreciated. jc
