Hello Guys!
I tried to get my notebook running with a framebuffer device,but
after hours trying around I got only vesa-fb running.
Which is in fact nice, but _slow_.
I tried to use aty128fb and atyfb with Linux 2.4.19 and 2.5.47-50.
I never achieved something 'displayable'.
Can you tell me,=20
a) is my chipset compatible with the atyfb/aty128fb driver ?
b) what todo exactly to get it working ?
(i know howto compile kernel, patch around code,...
what I need are informations, whether
append=3D"video=3Daty128fb:accel,<640x480@8bpp>"
or=20
append=3D"video=3Datyfb:<800x600-16bpp>"
are correct, whether to pass vga=3D options to the kernel
is senseful and so on...)
If possible I would like to use the 1024x768x24 framebuffer device,
perhaps loadable via module.
My chipset:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage P/M Mobilit=
y AGP 2x (rev 64)
01:00.0 Class 0300: 1002:4c4d (rev 64)
Please tell me whether I should sent more informations or if you
need to see .config and so on.
Sincerly,
Nico
