Forgotten the used kernelsources: gentoo-sources 2.4.20-rc5 this still a problem with latest gentoo sources ? Instructions on www.bootsplash.org (the origin of the bootsplash patches) look like most testing was only conducted with the VESA fb driver. As you have found, having 2 different fb drivers trying to access the hardware (in your case tdfx-fb and vesafb) is likely to cause problems. Please test this with only the VESA fb driver (ie: don't build the tdfxfb driver either as a module or in the kernel). If it works with just VESA then I suggest that you contact the author of the tdfxfb driver. Also have a search on forums.gentoo.org, there are reports there from people who have successfully achieved better refresh rates from the vesafb. tad is not an active developer. Any updates on the problem? Is this still an issue with the latest 2.6 kernels? Closing, since the has been no comment from the bug reporter for almost a year.. |
