I don't know about this, I've never used intelfb so I can't help with that, but an advise though, if your intention is to use for example mplayer on Console then I think it's worth working on it, but if your intention is to use just for the splash, uvesafb will be sufficient... > Friday, March 14, 2008, 2:49:12 AM, you wrote: > > This One Time, at Band Camp, Sergey Kobzar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > said, On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 11:34:10PM +0200: > >> Hi > >> Linux 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 i686 > >> I have Asus U5F laptop: > >> # lspci > >> 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and > >> 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) > >> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, > >> 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) > >> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML > >> Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) > >> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High > >> Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) > >> 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express > >> Port 1 (rev 02) > >> 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express > >> Port 2 (rev 02) > >> 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express > >> Port 3 (rev 02) > >> 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI > >> Controller #1 (rev 02) > >> 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI > >> Controller #2 (rev 02) > >> 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI > >> Controller #3 (rev 02) > >> 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI > >> Controller #4 (rev 02) > >> 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI > >> Controller (rev 02) > >> 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) > >> 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface > >> Bridge (rev 02) > >> 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA > >> IDE Controller (rev 02) > >> 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Re[2]: [gentoo-user] intelfb and 945GM
Hi Wael, Thanks for help. According to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash: uvesafb - a newer (>=2.6.23) generic, _non-accelerated_ driver that supports additional features such as custom resolutions. Unlike other drivers, it requires a userspace daemon called v86d to run (provided in the sys-apps/v86d package) intelfb - an _accelerated_ driver for Intel chipsets That's why I selected intelfb. Any chance to get it working or it's more easy to forget about it?

I tried these kernel kernel options: kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-b2 root=/dev/sda5 video=intelfb vga=0x318 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-b2 root=/dev/sda5 video=intelfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-b2 root=/dev/sda5 vga=792 and in all cases I see blank screen or screen with many scrolling white lines. Any chance to get framebuffer working on my laptop? -- Sergey -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
