Hi, guys! I want to have higher resolution in console. I used vesa-tng before and now I have update the kernel to 2.6.23 and I guess I should use uvesafb instead of vesa-tng.
I have followed the guide here http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/, and Here is the options I have chose in config file about the "FB" thing: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_DDC=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_UVESA=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_FB_INTEL=y CONFIG_FB_INTEL_I2C=y and in the menu.lst file, I append "video=uvesafb:1024x768" (PS: I have tried "video=uvesafb:1024x768-32" and some other similar parameter, too) to the kernel command line. But after I rebooted, the resolution was still very low, which I guess was 800x640, and I couldn't see anything changed. PS: My machine is Dell 1400 laptop and use x86_64 arch. I use tuxonice-sources and I have also tried gentoo-source to test the uvesafb. Any help is appreciated! -- wcw -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
