#1 insmod crash on Cyber9525/DVD

[Anonymous]

hi.

running a FSC lifebook 2131 with 800x600 lcd,
and above chip.

uhm -- not much to tell:
insmod tridentfb simply turn the screen into blinking
garbage and causes a complete hang. no error output
caught.

tried 0.76-fs2 and the kernel 2.4.19 builtin.

anything i can do to help debug this?

blinking
screen and crash.

I can also confirm this bug, on a Cyber9525(rev49) (Toshiba
Satellite 4060XCDT), with kernel 2.6.8.

One note: with tridentfb compiled into the kernel it crashes
at boot time (with some stray color bars on the screen) and
hangs the laptop, but when compiled as a module, it only
freezes the last contents of the screen (=80x25 text) on
modprobeing, but the system keeps running.
