[Linux-fbdev-users] problems using cirrusfb.ko

[Arthur M. <art...@in...>]

I'm running the Linux kernel 2.6.27-rc3. When trying to load cirrusfb.ko 
I received the following dmesg output:

[ 6185.202286] CLgenfb: Unknown memory size!

I've tried enabling the 15-16 MB memory hole in the BIOS, but I'm still 
not getting anything visible when I switch away from vt7.

Any suggestions? (I'd like to run a radeon 9200 or 9600 but have yet to 
find one).
