Old but open problem of Xfree on 2.4.9-pa75
Hello !
Starting current Xfree-4.1.0.1 the system reports the already described
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
(a message not written into the log file !!)
This message is written after
(**) FBDev(0): Using "Shadow Frambuffer"
The resulting reaction is the fatal error with an abort.
What is the reason for that ?
By the way, the server also reports not having
the PCI stuff, which is perhaps not compiled in my kernel, but that seems not
to be the problem here.
How can this can be solved. My config uses 8 bbp, the STI console driver inside
the kernel also reports 1280x1024-8 ! So this should run ....
Please help

Hi Christoph,
I think you will need to limit the XFree-86 screen resolution in /etc/XF86Config to exactly that resolution and bpp depth which sti/stifb tells you. Delete all other resolutions and the warnings should go away.
Greetings,
Helge
