Hey, I'm still trying get my pismo to drive an external monitor. I noticed that I get the follow message from the aty128fb driver on startup:
aty128fb: Rage Mobility M3 (AGP) [chip rev 0x0] 8M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1) Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 Registered "ati" backlight controller, level: 11/15 fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on PCI no framebuffer address found for /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,RageM3pB So I'm assuming that the 'no framebuffer address found' message is why I don't get /dev/fb1 pointing to my external video port? Is this because it is not yet implemented in the driver? I tried using Rob Minerick's advice, i.e. first booting to MacOS in clamshell mode to set some default for the external monitor, then reboot into linux using the video=ofonly flag. But it did not help. Shouldn't there be a way to get the OF user interface to display on an external monitor? I tried setting the output-device variable to be /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,RageM3pB, but now I don't see anything. All help appreciated, jas.
