I use Debian Etch in connection with latest kernel-headers and kernels. My system is a Pentium 4, the graphics card is an ATI Rage 128 Pro with 32 MB RAM. When I compile both mentioned kernels, I can activate FB and FB_VESA. But if I add „vga=791“ to menu.lst (i. e. as an additional parameter for the kernel to boot) two bugs happen: 1. The kernel takes an eternity to boot, taking about 4 long breaks to come up at all 2. the AT keyboard (atkbd.c) is not functional (i. e. I type in one letter at boot prompt and this letter is being duplicated for about 50 times If I leave out the kernel parameter (vga=791) evrything is working fine so far without any faults. Would you please fix this in the above mentioned kernels, so that I can use my system again with a startup screen including the small little penguin at startup? Regards Uwe P. S. 1: This issue is not, as I thought first, a atkbd.c issue for Dmitry Torokhov, but a pure framebuffer issue. P. S. 2: Is that email OK so far or should I open an entry at kernel.bugzilla? -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
