Hi all
I�m trying to configure my graphics board (see topic) following the
instructions of this newsgroup (comp.os.linux.hardware) but it doesn�t
work.
If I try to change the vga resolution with 0317 parameter in my
lilo.conf file, the screen becomes black and I have to shutdown the
system.
If I configure XF86Config with the FBDev driver I get this messages when
type startx:

---------------------------------------------------
XFree 86 Version 3.3.2 /X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0,  vendor release 6300)
Release date: March 2 1998
Operating System: Linux 2.1.119 i 686 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
FBDev: Server for frame buffer device
(patchlevel 7): mfb, iplan2p2, iplan2p4, iplan2p8, ilbm, afb, cfb8,
cfb16, cfb32

Fatal sever error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/fb0 (operation not supported by
device)
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can�t connect: errno = 111
giving up
--------------------------------------------------

What�s the matter?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have the ati 128 fury and i could configure it with FBDev (and kernel
2.2.5, RedHat 6)

I think the 0317 value is when you answer to the lilo prompt (when vga=ask)
This is in hexa.
But in /etc/lilo.conf you must put it in decimal: 791


Here are other values:

Colors      800x600                1024x768

16bits      0314 (788)            0317 (791)
24bits      0315 (789)            0318 (792)

And look at mini-howto for vesa

Good luck

Hi
I put 0317 at lilo prompt. If I change the value of VGA=791 it happens
the same effect, black screen and shutdown.

Thanks

Hello,

sorry, no other idea,

except : have recompiled lilo after your change ?
(with the command "lilo -v")

Bye!
