jepp. more or less.
just compile your kernel with
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_VGA=m
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB_MDA=m
then:
insmod fbcon-vga
insmod vgafb
insmod mdafb
have a look at /proc/fb:
0 VGA+
1 Dual Head MDA
(or something similar, i have no mda-card inside right now)
you can then migrate consoles with con2fbmap and set a video mode using
fbset. (actual versions are inside the ggi-degas-tree.)
some additions:
- *very* simple generic support, don't estimate your Xserver is able to run.
- have a look at www.ggi-project.org and search for an actual beta-snapshot.
there is now kgicon included, which can be used without patching the
kernel and supports your gfx-chipset a lot better than the generic
drivers. (only if there's already a kgi-driver for it!)
