Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0

[Frank J. Mattia]

therein lies the problem.  im not using an nvidia anything.  im using a 
matrox parhelia (which somehow i doubt is supported by the matroxfb.  
but anyway.. when i get home im going to replace my vga= line with 
video=matrox:vesa:0x1BF to see if that helps.  vga= just looks like its 
asking for problems (in its simplicity.  i mean come on.. who ever heard 
of any option in anything ever just taking a single paramter which 
controls screen res, color depth, and fb.. etc... its just tooo easy..).

i do have all of the proper config options enabled.  thank you for your 
advice though.  if this doesnt work ill go back and rtfm some more.  
maybe find that one kernel opt i missed.

on another note.. would you have any idea about the mouse probs, or what 
driver i should compile for a generic ac97 onboard soundcard?

thanks.

You have to use certain options for the kernel config, just do a search in
the mailinglist archive for nvidia framebuffer and you will find the correct
options you have to use.
By the way I'm  running 2.6 stable since yesterday, on my box everything is
working X, nvidia drivers, sensors, alsa, sysfs.
I just have one little issue at the moment, one programm while running needs
about 20% of cpu time now with the old kernel it was between 5-10 percent,
I'm just recompiling glibc and xfree to see if that helps.
