If compiled in then the screen goes blank during boot up. Everything else works fine. Even fbset seems to work, the monitor will indicate the appropriate changes in resolution/refresh rate but the screen is always blank. I have tried kernels from stock 2.4.21 to 2.4.22-pre6-ac1 with no change in the results. Any suggestions?
