34 # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep FB | grep -v '#'
35 CONFIG_FB=y
36 CONFIG_FB_DDC=y
37 CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y

45 # dmesg | grep intel
46 intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM chipsets
47 intelfb: Version 0.9.4
48 intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 945GM, aperture size 256MB, stolen memory 7932kB
49 intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ). Disabling mode switching.

53 I tried these kernel kernel options:
54 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-b2 root=/dev/sda5 video=intelfb vga=0x318
55 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-b2 root=/dev/sda5 video=intelfb:mode=1024x768-32@60
56 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r3-b2 root=/dev/sda5 vga=792
57
58 and in all cases I see blank screen or screen with many scrolling
59 white lines.

62 Any chance to get framebuffer working on my laptop?
