Hello!

I retried using atyfb with 2.5.60:
Afterloading atyfb the only thing left is the cursor.
i don't see anything else anymore..i see the cursor moving, but that's all.
btw, i am using a laptop (means lcd)...

can somebody tell me whether playing around with fbset could make things
working?

Nico

Did older versions of atyfb work on this chip? I have the same one in my Vaio,
and so far it never worked with atyfb.

Strange. The good news is, if you see the cursor, it means the drawing
functions is working since atyfb uses soft_cursor() which uses
xxxfb_imageblit (the same function to draw the characters). That is
perhaps fixable.

You cannot use fbset anymore to change the window size, you have to use
stty cols <value> rows <value>.  That implies the driver can set the
video mode independently from fbset.  If it doesn't, you can use
something like this:

fbset 640x480-60 && stty cols 80 rows 30
