http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10999 Summary: intelfb + 965GM still not working in 2.6.26-rc8 Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.26-rc8 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Console/Framebuffers AssignedTo: jsimmons@infradead.org ReportedBy: peter.ganzhorn@googlemail.com Distribution: Debian Lenny Hardware Environment: Toshiba Tecra A9 (Core2 Duo / 965GM) Software Environment: Debian Lenny Problem Description: With 2.6.26-rc8 intelfb is supposed to support Intels 965GM integrated graphics chips, but I am unable to get it working. I included the fbcon and intelfb drivers statically and removed all other framebuffer drivers such as vesafb. I selected the 8x16 font to be included. I tried with the following config in grub: title Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=intelfb:mode=1680x1050-32@60 savedefault video=intelfb:mode=1680x1050-32@60 video=intelfb:mode=1280x1024 video=intelfb:mode=1280x1024-32@60 won't work either, I'm always getting a blank black screen until X starts. My screen does support resolutions up to 1680x1050, X is working with that resolution. At least 1280x1024 should work as vesafb did with my last kernel (with vga=794). 965GM chipsets are listed in my kconfig as well as in Documentation/fb/intelfb.txt. What might be wrong here?!
