Kernel 2.6.0-test2-mm2 Still No Penguin Logo

Kernel 2.6.0-test2-mm2 Still No Penguin Logo

[Ronald Jerome]

Logo has dissapeared after 2.6.0-test1-mm2.

I would have thought test2-mm2 would have patched the problem?

I have a blue bar a couple of inches high with test2-mm2, but I've 
never actually seen the logo when booting 2.6.  What options trigger 
that properly?

Same here. I have all the logo options activated, yet I only get a
black bar on top of the screen when booting with a fraembuffer console.

I've had it work on my main machine, which uses the Radeon framebuffer,
but on my laptop, which uses the VESA framebuffer, I get the same thing.

I might try again later using the NeoMagic framebuffer and see if the
fault still exists.  If it works on the laptop using the neomagic
framebuffer, that might point to a problem with the VESA driver.

This is with Linux 2.6.0-test1.  (I wasn't aware of the existance of
2.6.0-test2 until I subscribed to this list less than 24 hours ago)

I use the neofb (see my bugreport about various issues with that beast).

Sounds interesting!

Is the missing of fbdev patch.

   328          } else if (image->depth == bpp)

to

   328          } else if (image->depth <= bpp)

The cute Tux penguin comes out of its cave each time I boot Linux
kernels 2.5.x+ since I started trying (and using) them. However, our
pretty friend comes sorrounded by a white band its own height, and all
the way to the right of the screen.

This is a box with a nVIDIA GeForce 2 MX based card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2)

And the kernel (now 2.6.0-test2-mm2) is compiled with:
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_RIVA=y

And the kernel is booted without passing it any vga= modes.
