Hi,

I am experimenting with using a framebuffer for video playback with
DirectFB. The first goal of mine is to get a stable fb driver working
that DirectFB can talk to.

My target platform is an x86 with an intel 965G chipset running
fedora. I am attempting to use the intelfb driver to successfully
complete this project.

I let my system boot, and then modprobe intelfb with no parameters.
Every time the system always either reboots, or hangs with no response
to input. Has anyone experienced this before? I can successfully do
low resolution video playback using the vesa driver.

I've developed Linux drivers in the past and am going to dive into the
code to see if I can solve this, and other problems. Should I be in
direct contact with the current maintainer of this module to possibly
point me in the right direction?
Could you provide more details? Especially, if you have connected a CRT
(either real CRT or external LCD panel) or the LVDS (LCD directly to
the chip - like in laptops).

I have not experienced this but I haven't tried it either.

Regards,
Krzysztof
