Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686
Version: 2.6.11-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
according to documentation shipped with kernel sources
(kernel-sources-.../Documentation/fb/tridentfb.txt), it should be
possible to set virtual consoles resolution using tridentfb driver.
I used this (and many other) parameters:
video=tridentfb:1024x768,bpp=16
The tridentfb is loaded, during the boot, but the resolution is
always set to 640x480 and the screen is broken.
Launching
"fbset 1024x768-60"
after login, solves the problem. However, the switch "-a" of fbset
seems not to work.
I tried this on a laptop with a Trident CyberBlade XPA1i.
dmesg related output is:
tridentfb: framebuffer size = 16384 Kb
tridentfb: 0000:01:00.0 board found
tridentfb: 1024x768 flat panel found
tridentfb: fb0: Trident frame buffer device 640x480-8bpp
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30
Ciao Ciao
Marco
