I have a PCI graphic card CIRUUS LOGIC 5446 which is working fine I get the Linux penguin and I can run startx on it with out any problem. but when I'm I'm trying to use CIRRUS LOGIC 5464 I only get a blank screen?? when I'm trying to use an invidia RIVA TNT2 the kernel get stuck when trying to run accel engine?? when I'm trying to use ATI 3D rage II I get a screen full of vertical line?? I have no special initialization in the U-Boot for the graphic card, and I compile the above graphic card as part of the kernel. Does the kernel drivers based on some bios initializations?? Can I remove the graphic card driver from the kernel and still use the XFree86 to initialize the graphic card?? (when I try to do it I get an error that /dev/fb0 doesn't exist??) any help will be appreciated Regards -- Ronen Shitrit M.S.I.L 6 Ha'mada St. Industrial Area P.O.Box 692 Yokneam 20692 ISRAEL Tel: +972-4-9091500 Fax: +972-4-9091501 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
