On the 2.6.9 kernel on Debian sid, rivafb loads successfully: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 rivafb: nVidia device/chipset 10DE0176 rivafb: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M] rivafb: flatpanel support enabled rivafb: Detected CRTC controller 1 being used rivafb: RIVA MTRR set to ON rivafb: could not retrieve EDID from DDC/I2C rivafb: setting virtual Y resolution to 52428 rivafb: Detected CRTC controller 1 being used rivafb: Detected CRTC controller 1 being used Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 rivafb: PCI nVidia NV17 framebuffer ver 0.9.5b (32MB @ 0xEC000000) Along with rivafb, these modules load: Module Size Used by rivafb 49924 1 i2c_algo_bit 8968 1 rivafb vgastate 9472 1 rivafb cfbimgblt 2944 1 rivafb i2c_core 19088 2 rivafb,i2c_algo_bit As long as the proprietary nvidia kernel module is not loaded, this works fine. However, I'm only getting 640x480. My /etc/fb.modes has lots of other resolutions, but they're not accepted. Is this a limitation of the rivafb driver, my hardware, or something else? vesafb won't load at all. I run thermoman's lilo, which shows an animated scene -- flying penguins and so on -- in full screen, so I'm disappointed that I get better framebuffer support in lilo than in the OS! Can anyone suggest how to get a full screen after boot? X11 uses 1280x854. Please cc me, I'm not subscribed.
