Hiya, On my Dell Inspiron 5000e, I have a 3D Rage Mobility card and I've successfully enabled the framebuffer. The key I believe is to use the VESA driver, not the Rage driver as it doesn't work ;) Once you do this, change the lilo.conf entry vga=xxx to something like vga=0x307 which gives me a very nice resolution...
Hope this helps. David. -----Original Message----- From: Gabor Nagy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 October 2001 22:00 To: [email protected] Subject: framebuffer Hi! Do anyone use framebuffer on something like this: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x (rev 64) This is a Compaq Armada M700, if maybe someone else has the same (what about the built-in winmodem then?) The ati mach64 fb driver starts happily with this card, but all I got was the whole panel going white. I could log in (without seeing a thing) changed the videomodes with fbset, but couldn't get a barely readable output. Do you know anything about possible differences between a CRT and an LCD display timings? I suspect I wouldn't need all that information related to an electron beam.
