Hello, After much googling (with many different search terms), I found a recent post about matroxfb and kernel-2.6.0-test2:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/29/12 The key point is that (for some reason) the fb device needs to be compiled into the kernel, not as a module. I recompiled 2.6.0-test2 (Debian source) with CONFIG_FB_RADEON and CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE in the kernel, rather than as modules, and upon rebooting, I got my nice framebuffer console back. I have nothing special in lilo.conf (vga=normal and no append="video=..."), the radeonfb just does it. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
