atyfb and mach64 GX
hi folks
i'm trying to build and boot 2.2.10 w/ fbdev support enabled for my
older winturbo mach64 GX card (intel box). no joy to speak of so far.
i have not got any of the userspace stuff built, as i got the impression
you can just build the kernel stuff first, and it won't kick in until
you actually start using the fbdev devices. am i wrong?
anyway, right at the start of the boot, the display goes black and stays
that way (unless i login blind and start X. then the screen goes white
and stays that way). the blank seems to occur just as atyfb_init is doing
its thing.
i passed vc:8-9 and it seems i can login (blindly) on those consoles,
echo bells, etc. although the logins don;t seem to be recorded in
/var/log/messages.
i tried passing the vga=792 to lilo as suggested in the HOWTO, but
it complained about an invalid mode. when i selected one from the scanned
list, the above scenario repeated.
so, am i doing something wrong, or am i just SOL with this card?
tia
