Well then, you should remove refresh rate selection on the command line if it's not available ;o) My system is a NatSemi system (MediaGX1 w/ CS5530A), Vesa 2.0 compliant. I've succeded in changing resolution, but the driver does not seem to be so stable... However , they ship a Xfree86 driver for their framebuffer, to allow acceleration through their framebuffer (also customized through the kernel). They say it work on Xfree86 4.0.1, though I havn't investigated much to make it work with current, thinking the framebuffer driver w/ standard Xfbdev would do the trick. Could you describe the easy way to integrate a new driver for kdrive ?
