My guess is that you just don't have the appropriate framebuffer drivers |
| 27 |
configured in "Device Drivers->Graphics Support". With the Gentoo |
| 28 |
sources, I recommend at least CONFIG_FB_VESA=y and |
| 29 |
CONFIG_FB_VESA_TNG=y. If you do you will need to change your boot |
| 30 |
options, as VESA_TNG doesn't use the vga= parameter: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
kernel (hd1,2)/boot/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hdb3 |
| 33 |
video=vesafb:1280x1024-16@60,ywrap,mtrr pci=usepirqmask |
