Re: Framebuffer console with a G400
In light of all this talk, I decided to give my g400 frame buffer
another shot. I Recompiled my kernel, with support for the g100/g200
framebuffer devices. I added the lines below to my lilo.conf
append="video=matrox:vesa:280"
That worked. I got a very nice frame buffer console. However, once I
started X, and ctrl-alt'ed to another termianl, the video is all
garbled, like its refresh isn't syncing or something. How do you fix
that?
