Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I got a used PCIe Radeon X1300 (RV516) off ebay for the s-video output |
4 |
to use with an old tv that only has component, composite, and s-video |
5 |
inputs and I need a working framebuffer. When I power on the PC the |
6 |
manufacturer's logo comes on (with black borders on the sides), then |
7 |
GRUB2 comes on just fine but I can only get a working VGA text console. |
8 |
If I load the radeon drm driver I get a framebuffer console but with |
9 |
horizontal green lines at 1024x768 res (s-video's max). If I lower the |
10 |
resolution the lines get redder until at 640x480 the whole screen turns |
11 |
magenta. I suspect the card is bad but I wanted to get your opinions first. |
12 |
|
13 |
I tried booting from several live CDs and they all have the same |
14 |
problem. I also tried a WinPE CD and that one seems to work fine but I |
15 |
suspect is because it uses the boot resolution and never sets it, just |
16 |
like the vga console. |
17 |
|
18 |
I tried to load the vesafb, uvesafb, radeonfb, and the simple |
19 |
framebuffer driver but none of them work, I get a black screen or the |
20 |
text vga console if I enable it. And the kernel log shows nothing about |
21 |
related to it. If I compile them as module the module loads without |
22 |
error but I don't get a framebuffer and the log doesn't show anything. |
