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?!
