Any idea what to look for? Its very unlikely that you'll find any configuration related to this, but the BIOS programs the video chip at POST time, and a lot of that programming is relevant even when you use the vga16fb driver. > The BIOS is ROM F.0A 02/16/2008 and Video BIOS 1471 That's newer than the one I have; one wonders if they broke something... Can you use vesafb instead of vga16fb? That should be far more reliable. --=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-TKB+N4gzFfYobDeKaHHF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBH5TZxQp8BWwlsTdMRAkyuAJ0Z6xb+3QB2H9S5csBV2VSreXqhAgCfbPrZ gFKnPrKMu+p7JdnKQHmpjD0= =MSS1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-TKB+N4gzFfYobDeKaHHF-- --===============0188039377== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
