i was very happy the other day when i installed my newest machine and got a penguin logo as soon as i rebooted. :)
unfortunately, the kernel that the installation gave me (2.2.18pre21-idepci) is the only prepackaged kernel i've been able to find that has framebuffer support compiled in. i've tried 2.2.18, 2.2.19pre17, and 2.4.2-k7 without success. so i'd like to know one of two things: 1. where can i find a kernel that will boot and give me a framebuffer, or 2. how can i turn the framebuffer on when support for it has been compiled into modules? when i used a matrox millenium, i was able to modprobe matroxfb, and the framebuffer would pop on. 2.4.2-k7, which i'm using now, has tons of fb modules. how can i do the same thing with the vesa framebuffer and the card i have now (an s3 savage4)? thanks, -- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | jeff covey [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pobox.com/~jeff.covey/ 410-669-4926 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | he also bought this nuns. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
