Hello,
after a couple of failed attempts some time ago, I actually ended up
with a kernel that boots. However, I am experiencing some problems which
I think are at least in part due to my perhaps incomplete kernel
configuration.
First of all, my console is still in 80x24 mode, although I pass
video=vesafb:1024x768-32@72 to the kernel. I have compiled vesafb-tng
into the kernel, so specifying the vga mode is not needed, right? If I
add vga=0x318, the kernel complains about an unsupported mode and makes
me choose another. However, I know from my previous (genkernel-created)
kernel that these paramters work for my hardware setup.
Secondly, I installed nvidia-drivers, but the X server refuses to load
glx. I can't check for the exact error now, but it's something about an
unrecognised/unsupported format. If I set opengl to xorg-x11, X starts
(but I suppose it's not by far the same thing).
Could this be linked to the fact that my detected X settings are a bit
strange? For instance, the monitor VendorName and ModelName are just
generic strings and the subsections for the Screen section only contain
"ViewPort 0 0" in addition to Depth, which varies (correctly as far as I
can tell) from 1 to 24.
Other than that, and a bit offtopic, too, today has been both very fun
and incredibly educational (but a bit sore on the eyes). But after about
13 hours, I might not make much sense. Apologies beforehand if that is
the case.
Vlad
PS: I tried to send this a while back, but without success. If it did, however,
get sent, then I apologise for the double post.
