RES: Re: I'm loosing my mind with linux framebuffer! Please help! (Eric Adv Mame)

Hello Eric,

So, the big problem is not the video card compatibility, but to configure
the video with advcfg!
When I setting up the framebuffer for a 15 kHz arcade monitor, I got this
error:

"Invalid monitor specification: PAL TV (European) 5-100/15.62/50."
And advcfg crashes.

I deleted the advmame.rc file and created a new one, with default options
and started again, but I got the same error.
I don't know if I need to insert modelines at the /etc/fb.modes or at
advmame.rc instead of using advcfg utility!

When I was using svgalib, it was so easy! I just load the module, configure
the libvga.config file, configure the advcfg utility for my cab and it´s
done! Probaliby this framebuffer driver can't do low pixel clocks... Can you
give me some ideas to configure it?

I have a Geforce 6800 PCI-Express and I'm using Mandriva 2006. Of course,
without nvidia drivers and only with the nvidia framebuffer module compiled
into kernel.

Thanks!

Which distro are you using?
Which kernel version?
Which video card (lspci output)?

Eric
