I have been trying to get frambuffer bootup work in 2.6.9 without success so far. Cannot get the logo at all. Screen is blank till X starts up. I have same experience on Sid machines, one uses nv driver and the other ati.
If somebody has that high resolution screen boot up working with the tux logo in 2.6.9, could you post the relevant parts of the .config file?
Thanks, ->HS
So far all ive been able to do is compile vesafb as a module and load it, so once it gets loaded *the module that is* the screen will go into framebuffer. I was considering trying just the vanilla sources without the debian patches to see if its a patch thats conflicting, apart from that, i get the same as you.
No luck with that either. I did as you mentioned above and tried by putting first vesafb into /etc/modules and then aty128fb (the computer has ATI Rage 128 Ultra TF card:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF)
The screen scrolls in lower resolution mode(80x25) till the last line is something about ACPI starting. Basically it is the first screenful. Then nothing happens till X starts. After X starts, I do not get any text mode (ALT+Fn where 1<=n<=7).
However, currently I am using the Debian kernal image for 2.6.9 and in that vga=791 does give higher resolution screen, but no tux logo :(
I am considering copying the Debian 2.6.9 and then compiling the kernel again (I just wanted to do away with OSS modules) and by leaving the framebuffer stuff untouched.
