Hello, ...
I have just tried booting linux on my pegasos board, which contains a
powerpc processor on a Mai Logic chipset (following the POP design from
IBM). I use my old PCI Matrox Millenium II board. Linux boots fine (i
can type stuff, and write to the harddisk), but i have no video output.
I didn't manage yet to get any kind of boot log message, so i don't
really know what the problem is, and typing blindly is not all that
easy. So, my question is if you have reports of matroxfb working on
powerpc or something such ? The board works fine in OF. I am using
2.4.18 + the POP patches 0.9.2 + a few pegasos specific changes which
should not have any influence on the fbdev output.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
