Hey there, I am having troubles with uvesafb on VirtualBox. I tried either booting with
Code:
video=uvesafb:1920x1080-24,mtrr:3,ywrap

and
Code:
# modprobe uvesafb mode_option=1920x1080 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
,
both with same result: small scrolling speed and the following written in dmesg:
Code:
# dmesg | grep scrolling
[   94.493210] uvesafb: scrolling: redraw


How can I set ywrap as the scrolling mode?

Thanks.

In order to use ypan/ywrap, vesa bios must support PMI interface, and use 32bit kernel, with NX protection off.

Okay. Thank you. The problem was that the kernel is 64-bit.
