[ltp] How to get a working framebuffer on the X61s

[Tino Keitel]

Hi,

I tried to get a framebuffer working on the X61s. With both intelfb and
vesafb, the console was completely black. The kernel is 2.6.27.7. What
do I need to do to make it work?

These were the dmesg lines when I tried both framebuffers:

With intelfb compiled into the kernel and video=intelfb vga=773

intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM/965G/965GM chipsets
intelfb: Version 0.9.5
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: Initial video mode is 1024x768-8@60.

With vesafb compiled into the kernel and vga=773

vesafb: framebuffer at 0xe0000000, mapped to 0xf8880000, using 1536k, total 7616k
vesafb: mode is 1024x768x8, linelength=1024, pages=8
vesafb: scrolling: redraw
vesafb: Pseudocolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=0:0:0:0
fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device

With the vesafb, I also tried vga=ask, but the screen was also black.

Regards,
Tino
