Setup: |

Installing gentoo-17 as guest in Vbox vm on solaris-11 HOST |

(openindiana (powered by Illumos)) |

|
5 |
VBox 5.6.2 |
6 |
Kernel-4.15.0 |
7 |
grub2 |

I'm a litte confused about how to enable a high res framebuffer |
10 |
console. |
11 |
|
12 |
At gentoo pages: |
13 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide#Kernel_modesetting |
14 |
|
15 |
I've followed the directions there as far as I could. |
16 |
|
17 |
lspci on a chroot does not show a driver for the: |
18 |
Innotek Systemberatung Gmbh VirtualBox Graphics Adapter. |
19 |
|
20 |
And I find nothing about Innotek searching with '/' in menuconfig. |
21 |
So could not make any specific settings like those shows on the gentoo |
22 |
wiki pages for nVidia and AND/ATI |
23 |
|
24 |
Other pages such as https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fbsplash seem to |
25 |
indicate I would need to create an initramfs. |
26 |
|
27 |
The first page cited near the top of post .. tells you NOT to set some |
28 |
of the things the citation containing fbsplash (above) tell you to set. |
29 |
|
30 |
Such as <*> Userspace VESA VGA |
31 |
[*] Vesa VGA |
32 |
|
33 |
Is something outdate in one of those pages? |
34 |
|
35 |
Can someone using the kernel framebuffer explain how to do it on |
36 |
gentoo guest of vm? |
