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
Just what I wanted to ask! Thanks!
I can only get framebuffers running on 2.6.9 (and the duck showing ;-)) with vesafb-tng applied from here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/
The guy is very good: keeps updating the patch for the latest Linux kernel.
He claims that with his patch you can run the module once booted and change the fb setup, which I don't know how to do...
If I don't use him I get a blank screen. I apply his 2.6.9 patch once all Debian patches are applied *except* modular-vesafb, whatever that does, because his Kconfig change conflicts with its change to that file.
This is the relevant .config piece:
