Intelfb framebuffer problem.
 
Repost from "Hardware", still, maybe it's a slackware problem.

I have a Compaq laptop with integrated Intel 965GM.

I want to have native resolution in console, so i did the following:


Code:

mkinitrd -k 2.6.30.5-smp -m ext4:mbcache:jbd:agpgart:intel-agp:intelfb:drm -f ext4 -r /dev/sda1
And added in lilo.conf:

Code:

append="video=intelfb:mode=1024x768-32@75,accel=1,hwcursor=1,mtrr=1"
dmesg|grep intel:

Code:

agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 965GM Chipset
agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: detected 7676K stolen memory
agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000
intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM/945GME/965G/965GM chipsets
intelfb: Version 0.9.6
intelfb 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 965GM, aperture size 256MB, stolen memory 7932kB
intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).  Disabling mode switching.
intelfb: Video mode must be programmed at boot time.

No Mode-Switching? Okay.
But don't even receive an FB console!

Code:

open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

Hello,

I'm not sure if it can help but, according to this HOW-TO, this line must be present in your /etc/lilo.conf file:

Code:

vga = 792    # You need to do this so it boots up in a sane state
