Hi, I'm sorry if it is not the approrpriate forum for this question, but I did not find a better one: How do I make the the text contents of the console redraw at the end of a fb using program? The following program works as expected (on PPC, aty128fb) - paints the top of the screen blue. When it exits the screen remains blue. A console switch to another VC and back clears the blue and draws the text that was there. What I want is to have this happen automatically at program's exit. int main() { int fd, i; unsigned char *c; fd=open("/dev/fb0", O_RDWR); c=mmap(0,0x10000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); for(i=0; i<0x10000; i++) *(c+i)=1; sleep(2); close(fd); return 0; } -- Matan Ziv-Av. ma...@sv... |

Ditto - I'd like at least an option of the "incorrect" logo. I can (sorta) see not having it as the default. But perhaps under the 'experimental drivers' tag, have an option of "Politically incorrect framebuffer logo". (If there isn't a huge outcry against it, I may work up a patch - been meaning to get into kernel stuff, and this seems relatively harmless.)

I have (nearly) exactly the setup you describe - fixed frequency Sun monitor driven from a PC. I am using a Permedia card not Mach64, but just because a Permedia card is what I had. And I am using the frame buffer driver to get a very loverly console. I suspect (but don't know for definite) that the vesafb driver won't work, as I think it uses only VESA sanctioned modes available from the card, and Sun's resolution isn't one of those. But I would hope that the atyfb driver would allow you to set your own output mode, either via boot parameters (if you can with atyfb) or by using fbset on boot. Here's my fbset settings (given in X style first for comparison with your X settings): mail:/home/jim# fbset -s -x Mode "1152x900" # D: 92.945 MHz, H: 61.799 kHz, V: 65.954 Hz DotClock 92.946 HTimings 1152 1184 1312 1504 VTimings 900 902 906 937 Flags "-HSync" "-VSync" EndMode mail:/home/jim# fbset -s mode "1152x900-66" # D: 92.945 MHz, H: 61.799 kHz, V: 65.954 Hz geometry 1152 900 1152 900 16 timings 10759 192 32 31 2 128 4 rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 endmode Set your own mode, and you should get a properly working console. In the case of the Permedia driver, you can only set a precanned mode from boot parameters, so I added a 'Sun fixed frequency' mode and rebuilt. (I did once submit a patch to the driver author to add specifying mode by its components, but it never made it). -- Jim Hague - jim...@in... (Work), ji...@be...

Hi, I've got a Geforce256 Graphics card and run the Riva framebuffer. Now I would like to change the video mode right on startup instead of changing it later with fbset. I tried the following lilo config (bit in vein :) : --- image=3D/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.4 append=3D"video=3Drivafb:xres:1024,yres:768,pixclock:9091,left:280,right:0,= upper:16,lower:0,hslen:88,vslen:0,depth:32" --- it has no effect, my linux still boots in 640x480x8@60Hz :/ changing the mode later with fbset is no problem.

If you compiled driver as module, then mode database is not available (it is __init thing), so there is no way how to get non-default resolution. But you can add post-install atyfb fbset 1280x1024@100 -a into modules.conf. > > I do not understand.

What's the difference between a > linked and a modularized driver besides just store in different places. /etc/modules is usually parsed after / remounted r/w. If you trigger module load by accessing /dev/fb*, then it is different, of course. Difference between built in and modularized driver is that builtin driver can get options from kernel commandline and is initialized before system comes up. Modularized drivers can be loaded only after / filesystem was mounted (at least read-only), so couple of things have to happen before. You should built-in all drivers for hardware your machine has into kernel unless you are just developing that drivers. It saves you from couple of troubles...

Drivers do not read options from modules.conf, modprobe does. When built into kernel, fbdev drivers support unified 'video=<fbdevname>:options' kernel cmdline argument, but when they are built as modules, it differs from driver to driver (f.e. matroxfb supports all these options, instead of video=matrox:a:b you write 'insmod matroxfb_base a=b') > It seems the the frame buffer drivers gets started rather late in the > startup process.

Of course that if you compiled these drivers as modules then they are started after / is mounted r/w. What else do you expect from modules? And if you are talking about fbdev drivers in kernel, then I think that they are started too early. Currently my kernel initializes all device drivers after all other subsystems were initialized, just before mounting root read-only, and I'm very happy from this. Only problem is that I had to do some hotplugging fixes in some code. Best regards, Petr Vandrovec van...@vc... |

Since I got my third different graphics card (two different computers) I tried to compile the frame buffer drivers as modules. Now I discovered that neither atyfb nor aty128fb supports startup options in this case. I guess also the other drivers won't. What's the reason for this? It might be that the lilo kernel parameters won't get routed to the modularized drivers but why weren't options read from modules.conf? It seems the the frame buffer drivers gets started rather late in the startup process. What defines this order, could frame buffer drivers be moved more to the beginning? O. Wyss PS. Please CC, I'm not on the list. PPS. Linux 2.4.3 on i386, Debian woody. |

With the standard kenel you can't :-( When you load the new fbdev driver it takes over. What you can do is get a second card that is supported by fbcon. Then migrate some of the VCs to that card. P.S For 2.5.X this will be fixed :-) |
