From what I found online, in order to get a framebuffer display from my Picasso IV, I needed to use the cirrusfb driver to the kernel which replaced the older clgen driver (In latest 2.6 kernels). I tried stuff like: amiboot -k vmlinuz video=cirrusfb: No matter what I append to the video parameter, I can never get a display from the graphics card, it always comes up from the native ECS. Kernel messages say that a cirrusfb supported card was found. I was then told that cirrusfb does not work as expected, so any information on that? What eventually worked somehow, was: video=amifb:off, which produced a display from the Picasso, but was full of garbage. Thanks, Emmanuel
