<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The vesafb-tng support is broken on my 770X because it gets the address of the framebuffer wrong. From my dmesg:-<br /> <br /> vesafb: cannot reserve video memory at 0xffff<br /> vesafb: abort, cannot ioremap video memory 0x200000 @ 0xffff<br /> Trying to free nonexistent resource &lt;0000ffff-0080fffe&gt;<br /> <br /> Is the problem the same on your 770E? Incidentally, on my laptop if you hack the following line:-<br /> <br /> lentinj@thecount:~$ grep -n -B1 -A1 JL /usr/src/kernel/linux-2.6.10-cko3/drivers/video/vesafb-tng.c<br /> 1029- info-&gt;fix.smem_len = size_remap;<br /> 1030: info-&gt;fix.smem_start = 0x70800000; /* mode-&gt;phys_base_ptr; JL -- What a hack! */<br /> <br /> It works perfectly (Obviously this isn't exactly an optimal fix!). I haven't e-mailed the vesafb-tng maintainer yet, but hope to look into this further at some point.</div>
