Re: [Linux-fbdev-users] intelfb on 82852/855GM

[Sylvain M. <syl...@wo...>]

        Hi,
  =20
    Local Flat Panel support isn't fully implemented in intelfb. Only=20
CRT output is.  The workaround is to use the BIOS to program the graphic=20
chip at boot time using the 'vga=3D' option. One restriction is the drive=
r=20
cannot change video modes.

Regards
Sylvain
