Debian 2.4.18-powerpc, IMS Twin Turb video. While trying to set the frame buffer I get this:
fbset -s
mode "832x624-98"
# D: 57.003 MHz, H: 65.370 kHz, V: 98.449 Hz
geometry 832 624 832 1255 32
timings 17543 16 16 16 16 8 8
accel true
rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode
So I added the above to /etc/fb.modes then:
fbset 832x624-98
/etc/fb.modes:363: parse error
Line 363 is:
rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
Since that's what was reported by fbset -s then why does that line give the error? What might I change?
If I try to fbset 800x600-100 I get
ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
Any ideas? I know that this card works under Linux or at least it did with yellowdog but I was using bootx and had to pass a no video mode on boot. Now I'm using quik but the manpage doesn't indicate that you can pass any parameters on boot. Thanks for any help. :)
