What am I missing?


Ok, well I am trying the new 2.6.14.4 kernel series, and also I got a new PCI usb2.0 card, and so I need the 2.6series for usb2.0 functionality. I went through all my config settings, installed the kernel and booted it, but still come up with a blank screen, but also a message from my monitor saying the frequency is out of range....I went through my I2C settings, video driver, framebuffer settings, and still no luck... Any ideas? Here are portions of my .config.. Oh, and my hardware is an AMDK6-2 450Mhz, Via motherboard chipset(VT686a) with an ATI Radeon graphics card, so I made sure to add support for that hardware...

Have you tried just compiling-in VESA and framebuffer? I'd load your ATI drivers as a module and use it in xorg.conf.

So should I change the CONFIG_FB to module?
Code:
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m
CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=m
