I got these messages in /var/log/messages. # dmesg |grep intelfb Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet video=intelfb:mode=1024x768-32,accel=0 vga=0x318 intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM chipsets intelfb: Version 0.9.4 intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 855GM, aperture size 128MB, stolen memory 8060kB intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).

Seems like intelfb driver doesn't like mode switching; anyway to tell directfb not to change mode? Both accel=0 and noaccel does not seems to have any effect.

That is strange as the code does this: 1. get the current mode 2. clear accel_flag in the mode 3. set the mode Do you get any messages in dmesg from intelfb? -- Ville Syrjälä [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
