The dummy_console with the fb_con.c driver built in was the combination that worked. Seems like I tried every combination except that one. Also, the driver works whether or not the firmware initializes the CT69000, which is good. Thanks again. -Michael Morales --- Adrian Cox wrote: > On Mon, 2004-06-21 at 22:21, Dieu Morales wrote: > > My firmware does initialize the CT69000 as an > > environment option that allows what looks like VGA > > mode consisting of a simple black screen with > > white text.
