Does the kernel detect the card when booting? You should see something
like the following when booting:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/SUNW,[EMAIL PROTECTED],0: leo at x:x
Also you should have leo ranges in /proc/iomem and /proc/ioport.
Ahhh... no, I don't see that in dmsg or anything in those proc files. I can
see the driver enabled in .config and I think that I'm running the
appropriate kernel but it's obvious that I need to go and check.
Looking in drivers/video/leo.c leo_init() I see
if (fb_get_options("leofb", NULL))
which leads me to suggest booting with option 'video=leofb:on'.
Doesn't help. dmesg still says it's using mono PROM, /proc/cmdline shows that
the option is actually in there, there still appears to be nothing in
/proc/iomem or /proc/ioports.
Am I correct in interpreting what you've said as meaning that X's "No
devices detected" actually means "I'm not seeing the appropriate device
support in the kernel"?
That's one option. It could also be the wrong device was specified in the
Xconfig.
If I'm understanding you and Tom correctly I need to get to the point where
the kernel loads the driver first, after that I can start looking at X again.
I think I could usefully put some printk()s in leo.c, but I need to sort out
the disc before I have any chance of compiling that.
