[Linux-fbdev-devel] pm3fb and new motherboard ...

[Sven <lu...@dp...>]

Hello, ...

Saturday, i upgraded my box from a K6-2 on an ali chipset wich i gave my
little brother to a duron 1000 on a sis 735 chipset, rebooted the same 2.4.17
kernel i have been using without problem with pm3fb, and ... no more pm3fb,
only a black screen with some very dark grey garbage. X launched ok though, so
i rebuilt the kernel switching the ali agpgart and ide modules with the sis
ones, and maybe some other such stuff, but no changes.

Romain, ... Do you know if pm3fb is still supposed to work ok with 2.4.17 ? I
guess yes, because it worked before. I did not yet try vgafb, will do this
evening.

Does someone have any idea on why pm3fb could be affected by this mainboard
change ? Maybe somethign related to the AGP version or something such (the old
board was AGPx2 only, while the new one supports AGP 2.0 and x4).

All messages from the kernel were ok, as if pm3fb loaded nicely.

Romain, do you plan to some day have pm3fb included into the kernel, or will
this only happen with ruby and the 2.5/2.6 tree ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther
