OK, no success with other kernels (tried 2.6.33 and 2.6.34-rc1). @Marc: How did you "setup" the framebuffer device on your machines?
I don't know if it is relevant but I have to state that I'm not using KMS (because the HD4770 still isn't supported) and so I have to revert to UMS via radeon.modeset=0 command line. And so I only get the plymouth text splash thing. That is somewhat strange as even grub2 is configured for another resolution (1920x1440). Running vbeinfo inside grub also yields a ton of available resolutions so the VESA stuff should be working correctly. Although I must admit that non of the resolutions listed by that complies to the "official" resolutions of my monitor delivered via EDID (which are 1280x800 and 2560x1600). Running "hwinfo --framebuffer" shows up this: 02: None 00.0: 11001 VESA Framebuffer [Created at bios.464] Unique ID: rdCR.zobvqQpNPrC Hardware Class: framebuffer Model: "(C) 1988-2005, ATI Technologies Inc. RV740" Vendor: "(C) 1988-2005, ATI Technologies Inc. " Device: "RV740" SubVendor: "ATI ATOMBIOS" SubDevice: Revision: "01.00" Memory Size: 16 MB Memory Range: 0xd0000000-0xd0ffffff (rw) Mode 0x0300: 640x400 (+640), 8 bits Mode 0x0301: 640x480 (+640), 8 bits ... I don't have comprehensive knowledge about the Linux internals here but that output seems to me like there should be framebuffer support available. -- Local SDL window does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
