>Number: 23708 >Category: kern >Synopsis: VESA support broken in 4.1-RELEASE with ATI Rage128 video cards >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Dec 21 02:10:01 PST 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: David Schultz >Release: 4.1-RELEASE >Organization: >Environment: i386 >Description: The capabilities of ATI Rage128 cards, including the Xpert 128 and Rage Fury, do not get detected properly by 4.1. Without VESA, only a few basic text modes are available; with VESA, only 4bpp modes work. This effectively disables any splash screens. >How-To-Repeat: Test machines: #1: mobo: ASUS P2B-F (440BX) graphics: ATI Xpert 128 (Rage 128) mem: 256M #2: mobo: ASUS P3V4X (VIA Apollo) graphics: ATI Rage FURY 32MB (Rage 128) mem: 256M >Fix: Installing 4.2 will probably fix this problem. By updating vesa.c, vga.c, scveactl.c, and a few other related files to 4.2, I was able to solve this problem. I believe that it should be noted somewhere that this problem exists--- it's nasty to debug. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
