DSL v1.4 : frame buffer X-server still brokenForum: User Feedback Topic: DSL v1.4 : frame buffer X-server still broken started by: gh78 Posted by gh78 on Aug. 27 2005,21:22
xvesa works , but xfb doesn't load--some modprobe problem.I've tested this on 2 different computers--anyone else notice this? this DSL v1.4 is a *big* improvement though...loadlin-install finally works on my laptop. (so does f.b. X, ,actually) though, I'm still wishing for math-emu in the kernel and a console version of DSL.(console w/ gpm, mc,gpg and links-hacked) Posted by ke4nt1 on Aug. 28 2005,08:16
Are you booting DSL with one of the 'fb' bootcodes?fb640x480 fb800x600 fb1024x768 i.e " fb800x600 dsl toram xsetup" 73 ke4nt Posted by gh78 on Aug. 30 2005,01:37
yes. the frame buffer X-server works on my laptop(DSL v1.4), so it's not *totally* broken...on both of the nonworking computers I get this message when loading the kernel: You passed an undefined mode number. press <RETURN> to see video modes available,...etc Posted by clivesay on Aug. 30 2005,01:56
Try booting with 'dsl vga=normal' and choose the xvesa server 800x600 16bit and hopefully that will get it for you.Chris Posted by gh78 on Sep. 01 2005,06:03
'dsl vga=normal' +xvesa makes it work for me. I've got normal colors now.thanks, -gh78 |
