Mach64 framebuffer on a 2.2.25 kernel
Hi!
I have an old Pentium 90 that I use as a router/etc machine between my
intranet and the cable tv network. It has an integrated Mach64 graphics
card, on which I am trying to run a framebuffer. I am using a 2.2.25
kernel, mostly because 2.2 has worked great so far, and 2.4 is bigger (it
only has 32 Mbyte of RAM).
Anyway, I can get the Mach64 framebuffer to start, but only in 640×480
mode. I want to use 800×600 so that I get 100×40 columns (although 80×30 is
better than 80×25). However, I cannot get the driver to respond to my
configuration attempts. I've tried adding both
vga=0x303
and
append="video=atyfb:mode:800x600-8@70"
without any success.
The VESA fb driver does not work on the machine.
I tried googling for any info, but the only thing I found was I question I
wrote in 1999 about the other Mach64 card I have (for which the VESA fb
*does* work).
According to the framebuffer driver, I have this card:
mach64CT (ATI264CT) [0x4354 rev 0x00] 1M DRAM, 14.31818 MHz XTAL, 135 MHz
PLL, 60 Mhz MCLK
Any help would be appreciated.
