can you please try using the vga=0x318 kernel boot parameter, that is the way I specify FB modes... Nope; vga=0x318 doesn't work either. dmesg shows:matroxfb: Matrox G450 detectedmatroxfb: MTRR's turned onmatroxfb: 640x480x8bpp (virtual: 640x26208)matroxfb: framebuffer at 0xF8000000, mapped to 0xf880e000, size 33554432Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30fb0: MATROX VGA frame buffer devicevga16fb: initializingvga16fb: mapped to 0xc00a0000fb1: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device can you try matroxfb on pfeifer-sources-2.4.20_pre9? matroxfb appears to work correctly with pfeifer-sources-2.4.20_pre9. Although, all I did was build, install, configure grub, reboot, note that the FB was set to the requested resolution, then reboot into my primary kernel. If you would like me to do any further testing, please let me know. appreciate the update. figured it should be working in this kernel. this will be in gentoo-sources soon. if you need this support just use pfeifer-sources for now. closing, Jay I had similar problems but I've always used pfiefer-sources. I'm always getting 640x480, but I was trying to use the additional options such as xres,yres,and all the specific video mode timings. None seemed to work - it just doesn't parse the options. However, I did manage to put the timings directly into the driver to get the resolution and timings I need. I cannot get bootsplash working though - anyone have bootsplash working with matroxfb. |
