Message-ID: <cenq8o$lkv$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
I have got a video card which identifies itself (before BIOS boots) as
S3 86C395/396/397.
My lspci -vv output is:
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. Savage 4 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

The kernel is installed from a binary:
http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.7-i386/kernel-image-2.6.7-1-k7_2.6.7-2_i386.deb
When the system is booted, in /var/log/kern.log there is:
Aug 3 13:52:19 localhost kernel: vesafb: probe of vesafb0 failed with error -6
przehyba:~# modprobe vesafb
przehyba:~# lsmod | grep vesafb

From these posts I can see that vesafb does work on Savage cards:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0011.0/0263.html
If I try savagefb, I get the same error that is decribed here:

How can I get any framebuffer working on this card?
