Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 Version: 2.6.17-9 Severity: normal Hello,
I have tried to use intel framebuffer with this build, with no success. The tested modules are: i810fb or intelfb (only one of them at the same time, of course) The problem is: I can get module to load, but it does nothing: - i810fb does not write any message at all. - intelfb says it cannot acquire agp (in the best case). I have tried to load the module from a init 1 (single user) session, running "modprobe <module> <parameters>" with parameters as described in /usr/src/linux-2.6.17.6/Documentation/fb/ files (intel810.txt, intelfb.txt). I have also tried creating a new initrd image, including the module (i810fb or intelfb) (--> edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and run "update-initrmfs -u"), and also including kernel option (video=<module>:....) at boot time (--> edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, run "update-grub", run "grub-install hd0"). However nothing above worked, as I have just told. After searching the Internet for similar reports, I guess the problem could be these framebuffer drivers are compiled as modules, and vesafb (builtin in this kernel build) blocks them ? Perhaps vesafb should also be compiled as module? Or all framebuffer drivers should be included inside the kernel? My system is a HP centrino laptop, 1,4Ghz and 512MB RAM.
