Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686
Version: 2.6.11-3
Severity: normal

Hi, 

    according to documentation shipped with kernel sources
    (kernel-sources-.../Documentation/fb/tridentfb.txt), it should be
    possible to set virtual consoles resolution using tridentfb driver.

    I used this (and many other) parameters:

    video=tridentfb:1024x768,bpp=16

    The tridentfb is loaded, during the boot, but the resolution is
    always set to 640x480 and the screen is broken.

    Launching 

    "fbset 1024x768-60"

    after login, solves the problem. However, the switch "-a" of fbset
    seems not to work.

    I tried this on a laptop with a Trident CyberBlade XPA1i.

    dmesg related output is:

    tridentfb: framebuffer size = 16384 Kb
    tridentfb: 0000:01:00.0 board found
    tridentfb: 1024x768 flat panel found
    tridentfb: fb0: Trident frame buffer device 640x480-8bpp
    Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30


    Ciao Ciao

    Marco

thanks for your bug report.
if you still can reproduce your bug with the etch kernel
2.6.18 than please try 2.6.21 from backports.org and report back.

the bug report is against an old linux kernel version
and the bug report didn't get any answer on subsequent pings.
thus closing for now.

on a subsequent verification the bug can be reopened.


regards
