epia-m
by ron minnich 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

I have, I hope, synced Dave Ashley's and Dmitry's changes into the current V1 tree in a sane way. Filo is working as a payload. VGA bios does something but the screen is quite scrambled. Linux boots from IDE-FLASH but the baud rate is pretty wrong. The 'x2' baud rate problem is still there; anyone recall this fix? Syncing my tree to Dave's did not do the trick. Anyone who does epia-m can take a look. Dmitry there were a few things you did which were not quite kosher for the linuxbios tree, but overall everything you sent is in there. ron

答复: ATI rage xl.init
by YhLu 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

The original fb driver for ati rage xl has problem. It use mclk=100Mhz, xclk default is mclk. Actually it should be mclk=83Mhz, and xclk=63Mhz. So please check the kernel you have built with Normal bios to see if you can get ouput. I guess you will get bland screen. Please make use only enable atyfb in kernel. Also please let me know your kernel version, and I could send you one kernel patch.

I tried the new ati/xlrage driver on an arima/hdama. Linuxbios reports: ati_regbase = 0xfd002400 ati_ragexl_init: 3D RAGE (XL PCI-33MHz) [0x4752 rev 0x27] Devices initialized Im then loading the atyfb.o framebuffer kernel module (I assume this is the right one to use). The screen then does some init and switches to a video mode the monitor seems happy with, but nothing but lines appear (much like the lines you get when X doesnt recognize the video right) Using fbset to change video modes does seem to work, the screen resolution changes, but I cant use the fbdevice with any frame buffer test programs or with X (the lines never go away). Im trying: (1) to get the framebuffer working as the graphical console, and (2) get this working under X. Is there some secret to getting this working? Maybe I am missing an important step or something.... Also, Im assuming that in order to use the framebuffer as the console, I can pass "vga = 792" and "video=atyfb:mode:1024x768,font:SUN12x22" to linux when it boot. Do I need to set CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA = 1 in Config.lb? any help is appreciated. -Regards, Brian _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

Build error and Makefile.settings
by Mathieu Deschamps 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

ok i've found were it bugs : when it does this : export LINUXBIOS_ASSEMBLER:=$(shell touch dummy.s ; $(CC) -c -Wa,-v dummy.s 2>&1; rm -f dummy.s dummy.o ) the answer should be when typing make echo : LINUXBIOS_ASSEMBLER="Version de l'assembleur GNU 2.13.90.0.18 (i386-redhat-linux) utilisant la version BFD 2.13.90.0.18 20030206" But the ' character makes a parse error even if the string is quoted ' ' I propose to patch this quckly: export LINUXBIOS_ASSEMBLER:=$(shell touch dummy.s ; $(CC) -c -Wa,-v dummy.s 2>&1 | tr -s '\''; rm -f dummy.s dummy.o ) mathieu

VGA bios on epia-m
by ron minnich 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

I'm trying to extract it. I'm wondering if anyone else has, and if so, where in the bios image it was? I can't see anything at an offset that makes lots of sense. Unless the bios copies the vga bios to ram at 0xc000, oh joy. ron

LinuxBios "official" requirements.
by Mathieu Deschamps 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

I've read several documentation on LinuxBios and related projects, though I didn't find out a LinuxBios requirements "true" paper. I still have the 2.4.xx kernel compiling oriented slab that is to say : GNU Make 3.77, ECGS 1.1.2 (GCC 2.91.66), Binutils 2.10, util-linux 2.10. Also I had a quite old python version (1.1 or so), i got it updated to 2.2.3 when I've seen the python script insulted me while running buildtarget. What are the "official" requirements ? What I try to say is that a REQUIEREMENTS file in the source tree LACKS, Maybe it lacks also in the site page (IMHO, the early page info should mention this)... cordialy, mathieu

ATI rage xl.init

Stefan, I move the kernel patch that init rage xl for fb into LinuxBIOS. You can disable the patch in Kernel and still can use rage xl for fb. Regards YH
