Maybe a poorly worded question but I seem to recall some advances |
2 |
where framebuffering is being handled differently than my old way. |
3 |
|
4 |
It could be typified by the kernel line used in grub.conf like this |
5 |
one: |
6 |
|
7 |
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb3 vga=0x31A video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap |
8 |
|
9 |
Or is that still a viable way to setup the framebuffer, and, of course, |
10 |
making the proper Vesa and /or Uvesa choices at compile time. |
11 |
|
12 |
OK, that leads into a second or related part to this question; I'm |
13 |
having a heck of a time finding the uvesa setting in menuconfig. |
14 |
|
15 |
A searched for 'vesa', using '/'. Output below. But I'm not finding |
16 |
anything about 'UVESA' at that location. |
17 |
|
18 |
I see, under the 'Type' line that they appear to either designate |
19 |
'boolean' or 'Tristate' I know what boolean means in general but not |
20 |
how to apply it here... But have no idea what Type: 'Tristate' might |
21 |
mean. |
22 |
|
23 |
I've really scrutinized that area of menuconfig... but not finding any |
24 |
way to say 'y' to FB_UVESA |
