[Linux-fbdev-users] rivafb question

[Alix Marchandise-F. <al...@ci...>]

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask this question, if not can you please
direct me to the appropriate newsgroup/mailing-list?

I am trying to use the rivafb driver with an nvidia Geforce 2MX card.
I have a 2.4.16 kernel which I recompiled with rivafb.
When I boot my machine, I see the penguin which goes away after a while.
I don't think I am really using the framebuffer driver since with other
framebuffer drivers and cards the penguin stayed there and the font got
smaller. Also, nano-x, when compiled with the framebuffer setting
doesn't run (but it runs fine when built and run with X11).

In the instructions for the vesafb driver, there are lines to add in
lilo.conf, I don't know what these are for rivafb.

So my questions are:
1) How can I know that I am using rivafb?
2) What needs to go in lilo.conf when using rivafb?
3) I couldn't find any real info on rivafb, where would it be?

Thank you very much
