Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm trying to install Gentoo 2005.1, using the genkernel script, on a |
| 4 |
Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop with an ATI|Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x graphics |
| 5 |
card. |
| 6 |
My kernel is kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
When I reboot, Grub kicks in and I can select my Linux Gentoo operating |
| 9 |
system no problem. |
| 10 |
It then gives me a working console, allows me to login & run commands, |
| 11 |
but the screen itself has gone haywire: |
| 12 |
about 1 out of every 5 characters is garbled and flickering, and the |
| 13 |
same screen appears about 4 times on my monitor (with four little |
| 14 |
penguins, two cut in half). |
| 15 |
This is with the grub.conf settings below: |
| 16 |
***************************************** |
| 17 |
default 0 |
| 18 |
timeout 30 |
| 19 |
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r11 |
| 22 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 23 |
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 |
| 24 |
init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev |
| 25 |
video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@60 |
| 26 |
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 |
| 27 |
********************************************* |
| 28 |
|

I've tried changing the video parameters to: |
| 30 |
video=vesafb:mtrr,1024x768-32@60 |
| 31 |
video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,800x600-32@60 |
| 32 |
vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap |
| 33 |
and even nothing at all for video |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
In each of these four cases, the result is even worse: a screen with |
| 36 |
thick flickering lines slowly climbing up from the bottom towards the |
| 37 |
top of the monitor. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Thanks in advance for any help! |
