Re: xorg nv options
Hi 12" people,
i can use nv on 2.6.17.3 and all the kernels earlier since a while
with xorg nv driver and kernel nv fb device (video=nv:1024x768-60). My
external vga connector works pretty fine (at least with 1280x1024, did
not try more), and i can swsusp-resume a lot of times with the stock
vanilla swsusp.
The only thing is my first resume has to be done from tty console
(ctl-alt-f1 for example), after the first swsusp-resume cycle i can
suspend from xorg as well.
If anybody is interested in my kernel config i can post it somewhere.
Another thing that i wonder is i cannot boot 2.6.18-rc{2,3} with my
configuration. Boot process hangs quite early. Does anybody know whats
the problem there? Reading the changes i hope that powerpc things
there might fix my troubles (decompressing kernel on boot, might be
where my kernel hangs even if i thought my vmlinux os not compressed).
