uvesafb Debian Squeeze with custom built kernel 3.6.6
I have debian squeze on which I'm trying to get uvesafb running with
custom built kernel 3.6.6 (hardware is an HP Elitebook 8540w)
I've compiled the uvesa (uvesafb.ko) and the Connector - unified
userspace (cn.ko) as a module which are loaded via initramfs. As far
as I can see everything loads correctly yet the console would not
switch to graphic mode.
During the boot I get (from dmesg) the following relevant logs :
Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-3.6.6-third
root=UUID=5dab6759-c7ac-4755-a8a7-36ca63e17a92 ro
video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32 scroll=ywrap
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-3.6.6-third
root=UUID=5dab6759-c7ac-4755-a8a7-36ca63e17a92 ro
video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32 scroll=ywrap
pci 0000:01:00.0: Boot video device
video: probe of LNXVIDEO:00 failed with error -2
uvesafb: NVIDIA Corporation, GT216 Board - 06990005, Chip Rev , OEM:
NVIDIA, VBE v3.0
uvesafb: VBIOS/hardware doesn't support DDC transfers
uvesafb: no monitor limits have been set, default refresh rate will be used
uvesafb: scrolling: redraw
uvesafb: framebuffer at 0xd1000000, mapped to 0xffffc90011c00000,
using 11250k, total 14336k
If I do lsmode after boot I can see the following modules being loaded :
uvesafb 18723 0
fb 43960 1 uvesafb
fbdev 734 1 fb
cfbcopyarea 2902 1 uvesafb
cn 3429 2 uvesafb
cfbimgblt 1905 1 uvesafb
cfbfillrect 2994 1 uvesafb
Additionally my /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf in the initramfs contains
: "options uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-8 scroll=ywrap"
My grub version is 1.98
As I said, I see no major error message yet the console is still the
ancient 80x25 text mode.
What am I missing ?
