Hi!
|
|
|
|
I can't reach the maintainer of the FrameBuffer-HOWTO.
|
|
|
|
I had the following comment to make. Hope somebody listens..

Subject: FrameBuffer-HOWTO: XF86_FBDev
|
|

Hi there!
|
|
|
|
Thanks for a great HOWTO!
|
|
|
|
I have used it (together with other web sources) to get X running on my
|
|
Toshiba 1710CDS laptop. Following your instructions, I made it... I am
|
|
using RedHat 6.2.
|
|
|
|
The Mach64 server should but did not work, so I decided to try fbdev.
|
|
The ATI Fb support in the kernel did not work for my card, so I changed to
|
|
VESA. Booting went fine, but X gave me:
|
|
|
|
fbdevScreenInit: Invalid Argument
|
|
|
|
which after having searched a loong time (finally, google found it for me),
|
|
could be resolved by changing the Screen section to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Section "Screen"
|
|
Driver "FBDev"
|
|
Device "Primary Card"
|
|
Monitor "Primary Monitor"
|
|
DefaultColorDepth 24
|
|
SubSection "Display"
|
|
Modes "default"
|
|
Depth 24
|
|
EndSubSection
|
|
EndSection
|
|
|
|
matching my fb mode choice of 800x600x24
|
|
|
|
This is an X bug, but well worth noting.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps you should add this to the HOWTO?
