MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org hi all, Sorry if this has been already covered recently, but it seems that the framebuffer doesn't work anymore in 2.6.16.9 and 2.6.17-rc3, while it worked in 2.6.16 at least. I'm surprised noone has raised that issue yet, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious :) When using the fb in 2.6.16.x and 2.6.17-rc3, the screen stays just black, nothing is displayed... I'm using the regular unaccelerated vesa framebuffer. I'm wondering if this could related to the fb changes that occured after 2.6.16 initial release and if other people are experiencing issues with frame buffer recently. Cheers, Olivier.
