The original fb driver for ati rage xl has problem. It use mclk=100Mhz, xclk default is mclk. Actually it should be mclk=83Mhz, and xclk=63Mhz.
So please check the kernel you have built with Normal bios to see if you can get ouput. I guess you will get bland screen. Please make use only enable atyfb in kernel. Also please let me know your kernel version, and I could send you one kernel patch.

I tried the new ati/xlrage driver on an arima/hdama. Linuxbios reports: ati_regbase = 0xfd002400 ati_ragexl_init: 3D RAGE (XL PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27] Devices initialized Im then loading the atyfb.o framebuffer kernel module (I assume this is the right one to use). The screen then does some init and switches to a video mode the monitor seems happy with, but nothing but lines appear (much like the lines you get when X doesnt recognize the video right) Using fbset to change video modes does seem to work, the screen resolution changes, but I cant use the fbdevice with any frame buffer test programs or with X (the lines never go away). Im trying: (1) to get the framebuffer working as the graphical console, and (2) get this working under X. Is there some secret to getting this working? Maybe I am missing an important step or something.... Also, Im assuming that in order to use the framebuffer as the console, I can pass "vga = 792" and "video=atyfb:mode:1024x768,font:SUN12x22" to linux when it boot. Do I need to set CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 1 in Config.lb? any help is appreciated. -Regards, Brian _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
