For a good while now I've had a setting like this in grub.conf: |
2 |
|
3 |
(wrapped for mail) |
4 |
kernel /kernel-2.6.23-r5 root=/dev/hda5 \ |
5 |
vga=0x31A video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap |
6 |
|
7 |
I'm not sure any more how much of that is necessary. |
8 |
|
9 |
I have it there to allow console mode to have much larger resolution than |
10 |
default (The appearance is much smaller text) |
11 |
|
12 |
I think this setting in kernel config is the one needed for that: |
13 |
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y |
14 |
|
15 |
But I'm trying to build a pared down kernel a console only setup. |
16 |
Going thru the kernel settings in menuconfig... I'm not finding the one |
17 |
that creates that `CONFIG_FB_VESA=y' element. |
18 |
|
19 |
I've gone back and forth through the setting under: |
20 |
Device drivers/Graphics-support .. checking Support for FrameBuffer |
21 |
devices (both as module and builtin in different saves). |
22 |
|
23 |
The only other setting that looks to be about framebuffer is |
24 |
Userspace VESA VGA graphics support but I think that one is this line |
25 |
in .config # CONFIG_FB_UVESA is not set |
26 |
|
27 |
Examining the resulting .config with and without that one set I never |
28 |
see this CONFIG_FB_VESA=y |
29 |
|
30 |
That line ends up unset in every way I've thought to try. |
31 |
|
32 |
However it is in the /usr/share/[...]kernel-2.6 config that genkernel |
33 |
uses. |
34 |
|
35 |
I want to have the ability to have the larger resolution in console |
36 |
mode but the kernel build is way pared down from what genkernel would |
37 |
do. So what settings do I need to have the effect like posted in |
38 |
grub.conf line above? |
