Summary: setting graphics mode for text console with video=
instead of vga= does not work
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.38-0.0.7
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com
Regression: No
I have stated "video=1920x1200-24@60" on my kernel command line. Instead it
initializes a 80x25 text console with a low resolution of sth. like 640x480 or
so.
The video kernel command line is said to be the future replacement of vga=
modes by the Xorg development team (vga= is said to be no more compatible with
Xorg`s video mode initialization).
Is it already implemented?
If yes a fallback to a similar Vesa graphics mode with Vesa safe/restore mode
on vt-switch may be an additional opportunity.
occurs with and without kernel modesetting.

If you f.i. need to use uvesafb instead give the following option: uvesafb.mode_option=1600x1200-24@60 (1920x1200 is no Vesa mode). The same parameters can be given on modeprobe leaving the module name (radeon., uvesafb.) out (/usr/src/linux-ver/Documentation/fb). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
