Re: [I810fb-user] i810fb drivers for linux-2.4.18-14 kernel

[Monisha B. <mon...@ya...>]

Hi Joseph,
  Thanks for the info. The Console corresponding to
the 2.6 kernel does switch to Framebuffer mode when
inserting the required things in the .config file as
suggested by you. However, we are facing another issue
in this matter.

 After the booting process is complete with the
comiled image and the login prompt comes in, just
after this we get the following error in the screen:

"[drm:i810-wait-ring] *Error* space:65520 wanted 65528
 [drm:i810-wait-ring] *Error* lockup
  warning:process 'update' used the obsolete bdflush
system call.
  Fix ypur initscripts?"

This above screen remains for some time after which
another screen with the following error comes up:

" I cannot start the X server(your graphical
interface). It is likely that it is not setup
correctly. Would ypu like to view the X server output
to diagnose the problem? "

 On the screen also two "Yes", "No" buttons come up,
but pressing either of the buttons does not yield any
result.

 Any idea about this behaviour of the system...

Thanks,
Monisha.
