Replicated, now to find a resolution. I've found on testing on a Blade 100 that atyfb will adhere to the resolution but not the refresh rate in OBP. However as there is no default across the board solution to this problem for all framebuffers, I've added a video.txt to the newest experimental LiveCD (gentoo-sparc64-1.4_rc4-11Aug2003.iso.bz2) that talks about ways to address this. If there's a better solution to this, feel free to post a followup Due to the way sun framebuffers work and the fact that there's no unified video mode resolution settings like on x86, this really can't be fixed. I'll add it to the list of things to add to the FAQ however. Adjusting status back to resolved:cantfix as bugzilla migration altered state. |
