Do you have a kernel command line parameter for video in your arcboot.conf or arcload.conf file?You will see something like this if you do: video=1024x768-16@60I've had the problem before that if this isn't explicitly initialized, then things sometimes work, sometimes don't going into X.Other resolutions are possible. -S-
That worked like a charm. My poor brain was trying out vga=794 and such, which, in retrospect, may be x86-specific.
What I don't get is how the old kernels in etch autodetected the correct framebuffer res. Perhaps it was a fluke.
Thanks again for your help, Jimmy
