I sent this once before, but something weird happened and it didn't seem to
land just right, so here we go again...
I'm trying the kgicon driver for riva (on my stb velocity 4400 tnt). I'm using
the 03-05 snapshot.
First, the 'add monitor' section of 'make config' is a bit weird. Mailing my
new configuration didn't work, and there's no 'ok' option to use the new
config. And it disappears on 'cancel'...
So I selected 'generic' and made my own monitor definiton file for setmon
(Attached). I didn't know which values to use for the timings, so I copied
three VESA modes from kgicon/kgi/monitor/timelist/monitor.c (BTW how come the
timings are not asked for in make config/add monitor, I have a 'separate sync'
monitor).
Setmon loads the file alright.
My question is: How do I make setmon work with fbset? Or is there another way
to change the mode. I don't want the 640x480 59Hz mode that is automatically
set when I insmod kgicon.o. My fb.modes file is based on my XF86Config as
explained in the framebuffer HOWTO. When I do fbset with one of the modes in
fb.modes, one of the following things happen:
1) I get: ioctl: FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
2) The screen sets itself to some useless mode, like the leftmost third of the
screen black and Alt-Fn not working.
Also, on insmod, and from time to time after that, I get this error message:
mtrr: base(0xe600000) is not aligned on a size (0xfe0000) boundary
I have 'MTRR support' compiled into my kernel. BTW it's a 2.2.14 kernel.
The relevant files are attached.
It would be very nice to have e.g. a 1024x768x8 console and 1024x768x32 X
(XF86_FBDev or XGGI) with 85 Hz for both and no clicking on the mode switch :-)
