Hi, all ! I'm having a slight trouble with getting my hardware to work together with the new 2.5.59 development kernel. The problems is as follows : 1. When compiling, the following framebuffer devices does not compile : - Cirrus Logic - Matrox - Riva (had some warnings) - Ati (Had to do some small hack in aty_base.c to get this compiling) 2. When I'm doing make modules_install everything stops. This I got around by installing module-init-tools-0.9.8 - This is not a good solutions (Or at least there should be some notes that you have to install some external software packages to get the kernel compiled.) 3. When the compiling sequence is finished, and it is time for reboot, there is no output on the screen after the grub startup manager. (Sometimes I get the following : Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.)The disk is working, and services are starting - But no output on the monitor. I've tried different parameter to the vga= command, but all have the same result. 4. Are there a list of framebuffer drivers that are verified on the 2.5.59 kernel ? WBR Stian Hartviksen My test equipment is as follows : Machine #1: - Pentium II, 266MHz, 128Mb - ATI Rage Pro 3D (AGP) - Nvidia Geforce 2 (PCI) - Nvidia TNT 2 (PCI) - Matrox Millenium II (PCI) - Herkules S3virge (PCI) - Cirrus Logic GD5434-8 (PCI) Machine #2: - Pentium 4, 2,4GHz, 512Mb - Nvidia Geforce 4 MX420 (AGP) - Nvidia Geforce 2 (PCI) - Nvidia TNT 2 (PCI) - Matrox Millenium II (PCI) - Herkules S3virge (PCI) - Cirrus Logic GD5434-8 (PCI) Machine #3: - Pentium 4, 2,4GHz, 256Mb - ATI Radeon Mobility M6 |
