I have a problem when I try and run X (Debian 4.2.1-11 20030829103906). My config uses the Glint driver with UseFBDev true, and works fine on 2.4.22. [....] It's occurred to me that maybe this just doesn't work and I need an updated fbdevhw. Do I? Or should it really Just Work?I think the glint driver is hardcoded to expect amiga hardware when using pm2 with fbdev. Just don't use the usefbdev option, and everything should be fine. the glint driver does not really support usefbdev anyway, only as a hacky workaround for amigas with cybervision/bvision graphic board.
Unfortunately, I do rather think I need to use UseFBDev. Hardware is Graphics Exxtreme, x86, BTW. Without, things just don't work properly - something isn't quite right with the mode set by X, and you can't switch back to the console. Well, you can try, but it seems to hang the kernel. I'm currently using UseFBDev on 2.4, for the same reasons. I will keep on digging. -- Jim Hague - jim.hague@acm.org Never trust a computer you can't lift. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
