Hi,

I have put together a dual Athlon machine (K7D Master mobo with the AMD 7=
60MPX=20
chipset) and GeForce4 Ti4400 video card, and my only grip with it so far =
is=20
the inability to run my display with a framebuffer device. VESAfb locks m=
y=20
machine hard, while Rivafb leaves me staring at a blank screen (though th=
e=20
system keeps loading). That happened on 2.4.19-pre2 with the RML's preemp=
t=20
patch (configured for SMP, preemption enabled, VESAfb and Rivafb built-in=
=20
into the kernel). Now I have updated to 2.4.19-rc3, and VESAfb keeps lock=
ing=20
the machine hard, but I can't load Rivafb any longer, passing the boot-ti=
me=20
parameter video=3Driva:1024x768-32@60 still loads with a plain text conso=
le,=20
and `dmesg | grep riva' doesn't show up anything.

Is this a known problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? If more information =
is=20
needed, let me know and I will provide it.

Thanks

D=E9cio
