Hi, I have just installed svgatextmode, but have not got very far in running it.
I have checked that the sync settings are within range. I started stm with the desired mode. stm tries a few times to allocate memory. The error occurs either during this or immediately afterwards. The error message says that VT_RESIZEX: No such file or directory. I am running 2.0.30 kernel. But I have also checked with 2.0.29 kernel distributed with debian 1.3. I have also checked that the details concerning my video card and ti3025 chip are correct. I understand that the 108x60 mode I am using is correct as well, as it works on another linux system with the same monitor. I suspect there is something in my xserver setup that disabled the resizing operation. I cannot recall precisely whether I have done so in one of the many configuration programs I have run.... Any one has any idea? --Derek Lee TextConfig ========== ############################################################# # # # Configuration file for the "SVGATextMode" program # # # ############################################################# # ChipSet "S3" #Clocks 25.175 28.322 40.00 0.00 50.00 77.00 36.00 44.90 #Clocks 130.00 120.00 80.00 31.50 110.00 65.00 75.00 94.50 ClockChip "ti3025" Option "MED_DRAM" Option "S3_HSText" #RefClk 14.31818 # common values are: 14.31818, 16.0 , 24.0 and 50.0 MHz Option "SyncDisks" #ResetProg "/etc/STM_reset" Option "LoadFont" FontProg "/usr/bin/setfont" FontPath "/usr/share/consolefonts" FontSelect "Cyr_a8x16" 8x16 9x16 8x15 9x15 FontSelect "Cyr_a8x14" 8x14 9x14 8x13 9x13 FontSelect "8x12alt.psf" 8x12 9x12 8x11 9x11 FontSelect "Cyr_a8x8" 8x8 9x8 8x7 9x7 FontSelect "Cyr_a8x32" 8x32 9x32 8x31 9x31 HorizSync 31-65 VertRefresh 50-90 DacSpeed 135 "80x25" 28.3 640 680 776 800 400 412 414 449 font 9x16 "108x60" 70 829 839 959 1092 960 986 989 1024 -hsync -vsync font 8x16 Error Message from "stm -d 108x60" ================================== DEBUG: stm version: 1.4 DEBUG: Debug level: 1 DEBUG: Opening config file '/etc/TextConfig' DEBUG: Parsing Config file...
