However, when I set conswitchp = &dummy_con; the video initializes (monitor signal LED turns green from orange) and I get a green screen on the monitor. And when I set vgacon_remap_base = 0xfe000000; conswitchp = &vga_con; the video initializes (monitor signal LED turns green from orange) and 50% of the time I get nothing on the monitor and the other 50% of the time I get what looks to be a screen saver that displays colors fading into one another (red->green->blue...) for about 10 sec like some kind of a video test. I placed vgacon_remap_base at the PCI0 I/O base, is this correct? I have added console=tty0 to the kernel command line and have not identified any other configuration items needed. The serial console I/O which I am expecting to see on the monitor shows the driver initialized without errors. Am I missing something in terms of configuration? I have also noticed that when using vga_con no graphics card is detected in vgacon.c so goto no_vga and conswitchp = &dummy_con; Would this be related to the problem? ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
