1 Hi, guys!
2
3 I want to have higher resolution in console. I used vesa-tng before
4 and now I have update the kernel to 2.6.23 and I guess I should use
5 uvesafb instead of vesa-tng.
6
7 I have followed the guide here
8 http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/, and
9 Here is the options I have chose in config file about the "FB" thing:
10
11 CONFIG_FB=y
12 CONFIG_FB_DDC=y
13 CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y
14 CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y
15 CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
16 CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO=y
17 CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
18 CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y
19 CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
20 CONFIG_FB_INTEL=y
21 CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C=y
22
23 and in the menu.lst file, I append "video=uvesafb:1024x768" (PS: I
24 have tried "video=uvesafb:1024x768-32" and some other similar
25 parameter, too) to the kernel command line.
26 But after I rebooted, the resolution was still very low, which I
27 guess was 800x640, and I couldn't see anything changed.
28
29 PS: My machine is Dell 1400 laptop and use x86_64 arch. I use
30 tuxonice-sources and I have also tried gentoo-source to test the
31 uvesafb.
32
33 Any help is appreciated!
