I just installed a server with stable. So I have the 2.6.8 kernsl as packaged from debian.
This is a 1U server and I've already used the only PCI slot available for a tape backup. The system has an onboard ATI RAGE card. I'd like to to use the atyfb for the console. The one problem I'm hacing I can't send the options for resolution to the driver. I can't seem to be able to send options to the driver. It ships as a module. So I looked to see what options it will take: # modinfo atyfb filename: /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-686-smp/kernel/drivers/video/aty/atyfb.ko license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.8-2-686-smp SMP preempt 686 gcc-3.3 depends: cfbfillrect,cfbimgblt,cfbcopyarea So there are no options I can send it. Is there a way around this besides compiling my own kernel with it compiled in? This would appear to me to make the atyfb unusable unless the defaults are what you want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
