[Linux-fbdev-users] intelfb on 82852/855GM and cursor problem

[Stanislav S. <sse...@cs...>]

Hello,

For those who are on the:

 intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).  Disabling mode switching.
 intelfb: Video mode must be programmed at boot time.

stage read this: http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/intelfb.html
and svga.txt in the kernel source documentation. I managed to start
video mode needed, but with tricks: I had to define this

#define CONFIG_FB_VESA_STD

in the beginning of the arch/i386/boot/video.S file. Without it I couldn't
start video mode via "vga=" or etc. though I played a lot with all
that stuff described in svga.txt, the definition I used is not mentioned
in svga.txt. What was wrong?

Ok, now I have it running but my dmesg is full of

the cursor was killed - restore it !!

and there is no cursor in console (without X started). I tried turning off hardware
cursor support, didn't help, could you suggest what to do next?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Stas
