I tried to get my notebook running with a framebuffer device,but after hours trying around I got only vesa-fb running. Which is in fact nice, but _slow_. I tried to use aty128fb and atyfb with Linux 2.4.19 and 2.5.47-50. I never achieved something 'displayable'. Can you tell me,=20 a) is my chipset compatible with the atyfb/aty128fb driver ? b) what todo exactly to get it working ? (i know howto compile kernel, patch around code,... what I need are informations, whether append=3D"video=3Daty128fb:accel,<640x480@8bpp>" or=20 append=3D"video=3Datyfb:<800x600-16bpp>" are correct, whether to pass vga=3D options to the kernel is senseful and so on...) If possible I would like to use the 1024x768x24 framebuffer device, perhaps loadable via module. My chipset: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage P/M Mobilit= y AGP 2x (rev 64) 01:00.0 Class 0300: 1002:4c4d (rev 64) Please tell me whether I should sent more informations or if you need to see .config and so on.
