RE: framebuffer
Hiya,
On my Dell Inspiron 5000e, I have a 3D Rage Mobility card and I've
successfully enabled the framebuffer. The key I believe is to use
the VESA driver, not the Rage driver as it doesn't work ;) Once you
do this, change the lilo.conf entry vga=xxx to something like
vga=0x307 which gives me a very nice resolution...
Hope this helps.
David.

Hi!
Do anyone use framebuffer on something like this:
ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x (rev 64)
This is a Compaq Armada M700, if maybe someone else has the same (what
about the built-in winmodem then?)
The ati mach64 fb driver starts happily with this card, but all I got
was the whole panel going white.
I could log in (without seeing a thing) changed the videomodes with
fbset, but couldn't get a barely readable output.
Do you know anything about possible differences between a CRT and an LCD
display timings? I suspect I wouldn't need all that information related
to an electron beam.
Regards
Gee
