I've also played with framebuffer support in kernel (I marked only VESA and unchecked all the others ) but nothing changed. I don't know what to do. What can be happening?
Thanks
It undoubtedly has to do with the way you have the console set up for booting. I went through the same problems. You must have changed something between 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. I finally got it working fine.
The problem is that I copy the .config from 2.6.2 to the 2.6.3 source=20 directory, do a make menuconfig, save the file equal to 2.6.2 and the problem still remains.

I did see a post in the kernel mailing list I think, it said that framebuffer stuff was still not sorted. There was also a patch put out for many cards, but it did not include my FX5200, so I didn't try applying it when it was issued about early February. I've been using vga=normal with all 2.6.x kernels after playing around unsuccessfully with fbset and different vesa numbers. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

It should be advisable to run make oldconfig before or your .config won't be taken into account in the different subdirectories. Michel

At least for me (different graphics card), 2.6.3 broke bootsplash. 2.6.4 works again though. I didn't need to change my .config, and I just patched my 2.6.3 sources which bootsplash did not work, with the 2.6.4 patch, and bootsplash worked right away. I would suggest trying 2.6.4. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Well, In the morning, before I read this, I have seen 2.6.4 announce and I tried to compile with the same .config and what surprise : IT WORKED... Nothing in the Changelog about this. Very strange, non? Thanks. Em Sex 12 Mar 2004 12:33, Joe Morris (NTM) escreveu:
