[Linux-fbdev-users] rivafb woes...

[Saurabh N. <na...@ii...>]

Hi,
Been trying to get my system work with the framebuffer but have some 
troubles.
I compiled 2.4.19 with the 
* VGA Text Console
* Video Mode Selection Support
* Support for frame buffer devices
* nVidia Riva Support
* VESA VGA Graphics Console

I have a Riva TNT2 32MB.
When I try to go into the video mode "314" (or any other mode) I always 
get /dev/fb0 with the following resolution:

mode "640x480-60"
    # D: 25.176 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.942 Hz
    geometry 640 480 640 480 8
    timings 39721 40 24 32 11 96 2
    accel true
    rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
endmode

Frame buffer device information:
    Name        : nVidia RIVA-VTNT
    Address     : 0xde000000
    Size        : 33554432
    Type        : PACKED PIXELS
    Visual      : PSEUDOCOLOR
    XPanStep    : 1
    YPanStep    : 1
    YWrapStep   : 0
    LineLength  : 640
    MMIO Address: 0xdc000000
    MMIO Size   : 16777216
    Accelerator : Unknown (28)

And /dev/fb1 with the following:
mode "800x600-75"
    # D: 48.001 MHz, H: 46.876 kHz, V: 75.121 Hz
    geometry 800 600 800 600 16
    timings 20833 96 32 16 4 96 4
    rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

Frame buffer device information:
    Name        : VESA VGA
    Address     : 0xde000000
    Size        : 33554432
    Type        : PACKED PIXELS
    Visual      : TRUECOLOR
    XPanStep    : 0
    YPanStep    : 0
    YWrapStep   : 0
    LineLength  : 1600
    Accelerator : No

I do not understand what is happening.
I have also attached my dmesg output along with this message.

Thanks in advance...
