Hi, I am using Linux 2.6 on x86-64 with framebuffer console, VIA Unichrome integrated graphics chip on a VIA K9MM-V motherboard.
When the videomode is set using Linux kernel boot options (video=vesafb vga=...), default refresh rate is 60Hz which causes visible blinking on a CRT monitor. The vesafb-tng driver does not work in 64 bit kernels. Kernel framebuffer driver modules specific to VIA Unichrome were tried, but none worked. Is setting a videomode via VBE3.0 call 4f02h with desired refresh rate possible from within Grub - using the grub.cfg file, or with some programming? Another thing, how to pass parameters to Linux kernel so that it does not attempt to change the video mode when loading the vesafb framebuffer driver? Video mode needs to be set just once, during the boot process. Thanks. PS I am completely new to Grub, but familiar with low-level programming. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
