Hi
I have ramped up a U-Boot with a linux using the YDL dist through a uArt.
I'm trying to use a graphic card but without any success.
I'm trying to use three different PCI graphic card:
ATI 3D RAGE II, Cirrus Logic 5464 and invidia RIVA TNT2.
I think I have something very basic missing.
>How does the X server initialize the graphic card, does it insmod the module for
the detected graphic card?? if so does it has its own modules?? or it uses the ones I
put under /lib/modules/...
>when I compile the kernel without frame-buffer support and the support for the
specific graphic card the Xfree86 -configure shout that I'm missing the /dev/fb0 file?
Do I have to compile the driver for the graphic card in the kernel???
>my U-Boot doesn't initialize the graphic card at all, is this might be the problem
or the XFree86 isn't based on any previous initialization made to the PCI card.
On the ATI-3D all I get is a screen filled with vertical lines.
On the Cirrus Logic all I get is a blank screen.
On the invidia the Kernel driver get stuck when trying to initialize the RIVA accel.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
