Otherwise the screen will not be cleared by fbset. > now ( 2.5.59 ), I can insmod fbcon, and screen looks OK again ( apart from > the left-hand-most column of screen appears at right-hand side of screen ) With 2.5.59 with and without the patch Antonino Daplas sent to the kernel list (17 Jan), loading fbcon only displays garbage on the screen. The graphics card is TNT AGP. The rivafb module works pretty well in Linux 2.4.21-pre2, except that certain modes involving sync polarity and interlace don't work (these modes work fine with XFree86 4.2). I was hoping that these would work with rivafb in 2.5.59. Any thoughts? Fredrik |
