Don't know the specifics of your hardware but I use vesa framebuffer |
| 9 |
which works fine for me (stationary pc, radeon 3870). However, for some |
| 10 |
reason, the radeon cards I have (all rv600+) do not seem to support the |
| 11 |
standard vga modes; I had to use a tool (vbetest from package lrmi) to |
| 12 |
find out the number to put into the kernel command line. I use vga=804 |
| 13 |
to achieve 1280x1024@24. Don't know if this will help but it can |
| 14 |
probably (don't know for sure) find the supported modes... |
