Re: Video acceleration on IMSTT with bk (and Ben's) 2.4.7-pre6 kernel

I just compiled 2.4.7pre6 from Ben's tree, and another one from bk, with
the same results. It compiled without any problems, but I can't have
accelerated video. I use "video=imsttfb:vmode:17,cmode:16 video=ofonly"
as kernel args to have a working unaccelerated video. Without ofonly, I
get some blue dots forming a very distortioned screen of what should be
there (linux logo and kernel verbosity). Without the imsttfb part, it
won't work after the initial boot screen: it stops after

BK 2.4.7-pre6:

OK.  It comes up for me 9600/233 with video acceleration and runs "single".

However, it won't start the X-server the error is something like:

 _X11TransConnectUNIX??? errno = 111

This is because I was being a dumb-bunny ...

and had forgotten that I no longer use Xpmac compat on my build system (but
still use Xpmac on the IMSTT -- anyone know if XF-4.1 is OK on IMSTT?)

It's all OK now (as of a build of 2.4.7-pre8 this morning).

Other symptom is that the splash screen #cpus penguin is missing it's
background.

this symptom remains (as does missing graphics on the redhat logo etc. on
the KDE2 login splash screen).

ciao,
Iain.

You should not have problems with 4.1 and the "imstt" driver.  If you do
have problems, please send me a bug report.


Thanks,
