Ahh.. when using that you will only be able to use 8 bit fbdev driver |
2 |
in X |

|

To get a working screen setup, you will have to pass something like |
5 |
this in the bootx kernel args window: |
6 |
|
7 |
video=atyfb640x480@8-60 (640x480 resoltuion, 8 bit - you want to only |
8 |
use 8 bit for console anyway always, and at 60hz) .. sub in your wanted |
9 |
values. |
10 |
|
11 |
My syntax may be a bit off on that example, but if you do some digging |
12 |
I'm sure you can find the proper syntax. That is one of the issues |
13 |
that that particular mach64 chipset has, the 'monitor sense' stuff |
14 |
doesn't detect the monitor worth beans...you may also get away with |
15 |
the oldstyle syntax like: video=atyfb: vmode 8; cmode 8 , but I suggest |
16 |
the newer way unless you absolutely have to use the old style... not |
17 |
sure if the new mach64 drivers will support the old style properly |
18 |
anyway. |

Hope this helps. |
