Framebuffer console only goes to 640x480 on 2.6.10 matrox mystique
I put a better video card in my cheap server recently just for the sake of a graphical console, at the time it was running 2.4.28 and the card is a matrox millenium.
I set it to vga = 791 (1024x768x64k)and it worked perfectly.. but now when I boot my new 2.6.10 kernel it displays a 640x480 console , I don't know how many colors. even though the mode I set it to is 791. what should I do to fix this? i've tried different modes, in hex and decimal.. my nvidia cards are bitchy about decimal modes. as well as reconfiguring and recompiling the kernel a few times.. why does this happen?
this wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't work perfectly with the 2.4 kernel.. I only use it for graphical links on occasion.. and as it used to be completely headless it wouldn't matter too much if I didn't have a video card at all.
but it does..
