...in kernel version 2.6.37.6. my graphic adapter is a msi 9500gt, connected to a Barco CRT projector. The Barco will only accept RGB signals with a negative sync. Is there a kernel command line parameter to force negative sync polarity? Or is there a user space command to set framebuffer parameters, fbset does'nt work with nouveau frame buffers. Ralph

...fer that does 3840x2160 ? With nouveau installed as my video driver, I can get to a frame buffer console of 1920x1080, but I am limited to that resolution in Xfce as well. With a proprietary nVidia driver installed I can get to 4K in Xfce, but my frame buffer is 640x480, 4 bit color. When I try fbset to change anything, it doesn't work. I have not even bothered to try my code so see of any of it can actually work in the frame buffers I get. Still scratching my head.... Thank you for your time. James.

Hi folks, I don't seem to be able to enable the DVI-I output of an old FX 5200 behind a KVM switch. Autodetection works fine if the FX 5200 DVI output is switched to the monitor, but when it is not, I have not found a way to force-enable it. Here is what I tried: *) used the video=DVI-I-1:1280x1024-24 at 60e kernel parameter (framebuffer still sits at 1024x768) *) used "options

As some folks on irc have pointed out, and has been covered a bit in the beta discussions: There is no longer a 'Minimal' install option for centos5 in anaconda, however if you choose 'Customize Now' and uncheck all the selections, you will get a minimal install that only requires disk1, and weighs in at around 594MB. With kickstart it is possible to further reduce the package

Two outputs are detected, VGA-1 and TV-1 and clone mode gets enabled. Fixed with video=TV-1:d and also fbset works to make it full-screen, but these shouldn't be needed.

This makes the redundant fb helpers .load_lut, .gamma_set and .gamma_get totally obsolete. I think the gamma_store can end up invalid on error. But the way I read it, that can happen in drm_mode_gamma_set_ioctl as well, so why should this pesky legacy fbdev stuff be any better? drm_fb_helper_save_lut_atomic justs saves the gamma lut for later. However, it saves it to the gamma_store which should
