|
|
hello guys, since kernel 2.6 I was able to have the boot console at 1440x900 on my dell latitude e6400 with vesa driver (uvesafb). With the kernel 3.2.9 I can not. The only difference between the two configs is the option:
Code: | Support for the Framebuffer Console Decorations |
no longer present in the 3.2.9. Any idea? _________________ "Sulla strada per l'inferno c'e' sempre un sacco di gente,

I get no output from git grep -i 'Decorations' v2.6.3{0..9} -- '*Kconfig*'. How old was the kernel that allowed this? Why are you using uvesafb instead of the generic framebuffer console and card-specific KMS? |

In the end I found it. I have no knowledge of KMS, could you point me to some docs? I ve a nvidia quadro 160m as video card.
thanks in advance
edit: Code: | CONFIG_FB_CON_DECOR | is the opt i was refering _________________ "Sulla strada per l'inferno c'e' sempre un sacco di gente,

No such option exists in the vanilla sources.
For an nVidia card, you would use the Nouveau driver for KMS. |
