|
|
hi guys Iam ginda new here but for the guys who are having problems with fbsplash and i810 I got mine working today
i used the 2.6.13.1 kernel with nitro patchset(Iam gonna try 2.6.13.2 today)all i did in my kernel config is disable vga and vesa and only enabled i810fb and generalized timings
here is my grub options that i passed to the kernel
video=i810fb:vram:4,bpp:16(or 24),xres:1024,yres:768,hsync1:30,hsync2:54,vsync1:50,vsync2:120,mtrr splash=silent,theme:default _________________ [img:2934e7148e]http://img322.imageshack.us/img322/6703/lordphoenix5fn.jpg[/img:2934e7148e]

You don't know how nice that is to finally see someone document a solution to getting framebuffer working on I810 chipsets.
Thank you, you just made my day.

I would like to follow up on wally's comment - thx VERY much for that solution!
I have been looking for such one since the first time I tried to install Gentoo on my server, and the framebuffer-thingie has always pis*** me off
Now I will try to setup gensplash
And thx again.. You really helped me out!

Thanx, worked like a charm!
Before that, I would get a kernel panic with the i810fb driver... |

How come, when I do the same with a i815 chipset (using i810 modules), the resolutions is still bad in console (about 700x???) But there is a nice little tux in the upper left corner. And dmesg reports a succeful i810fb load. But using a wrong resolution? |

This works for me
its basically verbatim from "/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r5/Documentation/fb/intel810.txt"
video=i810fb:vram:2,xres:1024,yres:768,bpp:8,hsync1:30,hsync2:55,vsync1:50,vsync2:85,accel,mtrr
yes config is only 2mb vram. but i mostly ssh to the server.

Has anyone gotten "stranger" resolutions such as 1400x1050 to work yet?
Btw, thanks for posting your kernelparams, I'll give it a try! |

fwiw, i have used a similar approach -- just follow the fb documentation in the kernel -- and i810 has worked fine.
maybe some people just don't know that they could read the kernel documentation files and follow the examples. _________________ .
