[gentoo-user] uvesafb problem

[gentoo-user] uvesafb problem

[Chuanwen Wu]

Hi, guys!

I want to have higher resolution in console. I used vesa-tng before
and now I have update the kernel to 2.6.23 and I guess I should use
uvesafb instead of vesa-tng.

I have followed the guide here
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/, and
Here is the options I have chose in config file about the "FB" thing:

CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_DDC=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO=y
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_INTEL=y
CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C=y

and in the menu.lst file, I append  "video=uvesafb:1024x768" (PS: I
have tried "video=uvesafb:1024x768-32" and some other similar
parameter, too)  to the kernel command line.
 But after I rebooted, the resolution was still very low, which I
guess was 800x640, and I couldn't see anything changed.

PS: My machine is Dell 1400 laptop and use x86_64 arch. I use
tuxonice-sources and I have also tried gentoo-source to test the
uvesafb.

Any help is appreciated!

Just making sure you didn't read his line incorrectly, but I think Justin
was telling to go back to the VESA driver as opposed to the uvesa one.   If
you are set on uvesa did you try the line video=uvesafb:1024x768 or is that
what you implied in the note about it not working.

thanks and good luck

I mean Justin' s suggestion "video=vesafb:1024x768" didn't work in my machine.
And also, just as what I said in the first post that
"video=uvesafb:1024x768" didn't work, too.

The only difference in my kernel config and yours is that I have
CONFIG_FB_CON_DECOR=Y which is located:
-> Device Drivers
         -> Graphics support
           -> Console display driver support
             -> Framebuffer Console support (FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE [=y])

Try enabling that with the "video=uvesafb:1024x768" line.

Yeah, it works! I just added this option you suggest, and now I have
small characters in the console.

Thank you very much!

It gonna work with the kernel paramters  vga=0x318  for 1024x768, the
kernel configs framebuffer and the vesa driver too.
