Re: LibGGI on Frame Buffer (Permedia 2)

On my system the pm2fb driver isnt working with the filegl 1000 pro, the
system is a tyan S1573 w/ AMD K6 200, Diamon FireGL 1000 PRO 8mb ram.

Upon startup the top of the screen looks like er, a mess... after about 10% of
the top of the screen the rest is blank. I tried several modes, can you give
me the exact line you call your kernel with?(ie: video=pm2fb:...)

thankyou,and sorry I know this isnt really GGI related...yet :)
