I've tried two things. This: modprobe rivafb <-- loads OK, no visual side effects modprobe fbcon <-- garbage graphics, complete hang And this: modprobe rivafb <-- loads OK, no visual side effects fbset 640x480-60 <-- screen turns black, complete hang The mode looks like this: mode "640x480-60" # D: 25.175 MHz, H: 31.469 kHz, V: 59.94 Hz geometry 640 480 640 480 8 timings 39722 48 16 33 10 96 2 endmode I haven't found any crash reports or similar in /var/log/messages. The system simply freezes completely.
