Quoting Mathias Schenck ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hello,
I've tried numerous times to enable savagefb support in kernel on an IBM T23 (1024x768 tft) and so far no success...
I used the 0.4.0 patch provided in the DirectFB package, slighty modified to fit a 2.4.20 kernel. Compilation went smoothless, yet rebooting with savage compiled in, with "vga=785" and "video=savage:mtrr,ywrap" appended in lilo.conf gives me black screen...
Compiled as a module i can load it successfully but no changes whatsoever...
I tried with several kernel and lilo confs, but can't get it working.
What is the correct lilo setup for this driver ? I could not find any doc for this specific fb driver boot parameters.
append="video:savage:vesa:mtrr,ywrap" ?
append="video:savagefb:mtrr,ywrap" ?
(tried several of those, with or without vesa compiled in, with savagefb compiled in or as a module, no changes...)
The savagefb command line arguments uses modedb
standard calls (at least this is what the linux framebuffer devices site say, I have not test it), so I
guess you should try with a line like this
video=savagefb:800x600-32 or video=savage:800x600-32, etc.
I'm affraid that the savage framebuffer isn't documented in the kernel sources (at least in 2.4.20), but with other cards (SiS cards i.e.) the modedb arguments works.
tried those too, no luck so far...i guess prob is not due to command-line params??? i guees i'll try with a vanilla 2.4.19.
Good luck
Thanks for the help, Mathias
