[parisc-linux] Old but open problem of Xfree on 2.4.9-pa75

[parisc-linux] Old but open problem of Xfree on 2.4.9-pa75

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello !

Starting current Xfree-4.1.0.1 the system reports the already described

FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument

(a message not written into the log file !!)

This message is written after 

(**) FBDev(0): Using "Shadow Frambuffer"

The resulting reaction is the fatal error with an abort.


What is the reason for that ? 
By the way, the server also reports not having
the PCI stuff, which is perhaps not compiled in my kernel, but that
seems not
to be the problem here.

How can this can be solved. My config uses 8 bbp, the STI console driver
inside
the kernel also reports 1280x1024-8 ! So this should run ....

Please help

Christoph P.

Hi Christoph,

I think you will need to limit the XFree-86 screen resolution in
/etc/XF86Config to exactly that resolution and bpp depth which 
sti/stifb tells you. Delete all other resolutions and the warnings should
go away.

Greetings,
Helge
