Hi,
On a related note, are there any known problems with rivafb and a
TNT2 Ultra? I'm seeing the folllowing behavior with rivafb 0.7.1 on
kernel 2.4.0-test1-ac1:
- at 640x480-32@75 I have to turn the brightness on my monitor to 100% just to
be able to see any text. Also, it appears that 1 or 2 pixels that belong on
the left side of the screen are appearing on the right edge.
- at 800x600-32@85, the image looks correct
- at 1024x768-32@75, I get no image as my monitor reports frequency out of range
as it appears it attempted to drive the monitor with a vertical frequency of
43.5 or somewhere around there. Well below 50Hz anyways.
- No matter what mode I run in, if I run Gerd Knorr's fbi image viewer, when I
exit fbi, the console seems screwed up, as I see no text on screen, sometimes
I see the cursor, sometimes I don't. Running /usr/bin/reset seems to restore
things though.
Using vesafb doesn't show any on these problems, btw. I'll dig out some older
kernels and see if I can tell where this behavior first appears.
