Geert Uytterhoeven, who's listed as the author at the |
| 5 |
end of man fbset, pointed out that since I only have |
| 6 |
one video card, I only need one framebuffer, whereas I |
| 7 |
had two: ATI and VESA. So I reconfig'd w/o VESA and |
| 8 |
removed the video=vesafb... from the kernel line in |
| 9 |
grub.conf. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Then I put fbset -a 1024x768-76 in local.start and |
| 12 |
rebooted. The framebuffer opens up beautifully. |
| 13 |
Without the scrunch or big margins but still only in |
| 14 |
the one console and it doesn't switch until the boot |
| 15 |
process gets to the .start file. Rather have a |
| 16 |
continuous high-res o/p from the start like with the |
| 17 |
bootCD. |

|

I think I should put it in /etc/inittab but where? |
| 20 |
Does it matter? Or maybe it should be |
| 21 |
video=aty128fb...on the kernel line. Still some |
| 22 |
tweaking to do. But I think most of the heavy lifting |
| 23 |
is over. |
