I've recently installed a new system, and can't seem to get UVESAFB |
| 2 |
working properly. I've set up everything in the kernel, and modified |
| 3 |
GRUB's menu.lst to use the framebuffer. However, even though there |
| 4 |
doesn't seem to be any errors, I can't seem to get anything other than |
| 5 |
"default" resolution with far too large fonts. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I've compared dmesg info, GRUB configs and kernel configs between this |
| 8 |
laptop, and another laptop that has UVESAFB running fine, and am at a |
| 9 |
loss to find what's wrong. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The laptop in question is a HP EliteBook 8440p with an nVidia graphics chip. |

I've also attached my kernel .config file for reference. If you need |
| 140 |
anything further, please let me know. I'm sure I've overlooked |
| 141 |
something obvious here; usually getting the framebuffer set up isn't |
| 142 |
this hard; but for some reason, I can't figure this one out. While this |
| 143 |
isn't a big deal, since usually the first thing I do after login is |
| 144 |
"startx", it's an annoyance that I'd like cleared up; it *should* work, |
| 145 |
dammit! :-P |
