<0> boachan: I actually did that once on my FreeBSd systme :(
<1> i was asking if there was another
<0> like a FOOL :(
<1> yes i already checked tat
<2> ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`
<0> boachan: i was able to get it working agian w/ some help from someone who was already running the same freebsd release, i was lucky scp still existed :)
<1> hold on
<1> im going to just compile from madwifi sources and get back you
<1> thanks
<3> i know you dont like this, but your symlink HAS to be wrong
<4> Is anyone good with gensplash?
<2> FB is for *****s
<3> fb is leet, x11 is for pussies
<2> meh
<4> I specified the resolution and everything, but its giving me errors because its trying to use 600x480-8
<2> 80x24 is l337



<3> |neon|: which fb driver, and what kernel params?
<2> doing irc in 80x24 ... man that feels so ****ing old school
<5> build faster
<4> vesafb-tng
<4> and I followed the gentoo-wiki kernel params
<2> VGA 16-color graphics support have that on?
<4> MrEcho, where at?
<4> in the kernel?
<2> are you blind ?
<4> mm, not last time I checked
<4> herm h/o
<4> heh, yeah I was blindly only using the options the wiki told me to
<4> but that wont effect the set resolution will it?
<2> gezz thats way to big [NSFW] http://fishki.net/comment.php?id=17156
<2> boobs
<2> iamben: sorry man... not in to that sort of thing
<4> hmm, so MrEcho I enabled it and same errors =/
<4> I had it set at 1024x768-32 though
<2> you mean 1024x768@60
<2> there is no 32bit color in FB
<4> http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Configuring_Your_Bootloader
<4> the wiki says to specify the #bit color
<4> they use 32 in their example
<4> which is what I had wanted =/
<2> video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85
<4> is there a reason I cant use 32?
<6> hmm
<6> did apple get sued for the iphone
<4> and it said for after 2.6.16 I had to specify mtrr mode like mtrr:2
<2> ok then do so
<4> but it doesnt say anything about what hte different modes are?
<4> I used mtrr:2 like in the example
<4> and 32 bit color
<2> try 16 dude
<4> ok, ill try it
<4> brb
<4> still giving me the same exact problem
<2> I dont know man ... I just dont deal with FB
<3> yet you are giving advice like you know something
<3> like saying you can't use 32bit fb
<2> :)
<4> iamben, you know much about fb?
<2> last time I did FB i couldnt get 32bit to work
<3> i generally use regular vesafb
<7> 32 works for me
<3> and only use vesafb on this box since its amd64
<7> what error do you get |neon|
<4> Dawai, I dont really get an error, it is just ignoring the res and bpp I get in the lilo.conf
<4> the only errors I get are ones saying that the theme doesnt have a resolution that low
<4> and 8bpp color is not supported
<4> when I had it at 32 and 16
<7> hmm
<7> sounds like you don't have the right kernel options enabled
<4> I followed the wiki adn enabled all the ones it told me too
<3> now THIS advice might help
<4> but if you have any ideas Im willing to try
<7> i'm on Windows atm, let me reboot and check
<7> brb
<4> it keeps saying the res I am on is 640x480-8



<4> append="video=vesafb:1024x768-16@80,mtrr:2,ywrap splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1"
<4> thats in my lilo.conf
<4> iamben, ...?
<7> back
<7> now let me see
<3> |neon|: you have "video mode selection support" and "framebuffer console support" as well as vesafb-tng enabled?
<4> umm, let me check, hold on
<7> in Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Graphics support i have enabled
<7> Support for frame buffer devices
<7> VESA VGA graphics support
<7> (with vesafb-tng selected)
<7> and in Console display driver support i have "Video mode selection support" and "Framebuffer console support"
<4> iamben, I have hte first two enabled, where is vesafb-tng?
<7> talking to me?
<4> uh no
<7> nm
<4> character devices?
<3> its there in graphics support
<3> under vesa vga graphics like Dawai said
<4> does it actually say tng?
<7> go to Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Graphics support and tell me what you have enabled
<4> oh it see it
<3> there is vesafb, and vesafb-tng
<3> they are different
<4> iamben, yes, they are all enabled =/
<4> I see it now
<4> should I use vesafb?
<7> what card do you have
<3> tng should work, im more familiar w/ the old one though
<3> i like vesafb unless you need a non-standard (wide) res or high res
<4> Dawai, its an nvidia card
<7> geforce?
<4> I also had the nvidia framebuffer option enabled
<4> yes geforce 5200
<3> who told you to do that?
<7> tng should work
<3> nvidiafb = bad
<0> i did
<0> oh wait he used nvidiafb
<0> haha no way i didn't tell him that ****
<4> iamben, I did it just to be safe
<6> http://www.sptimes.com/2007/01/30/Tampabay/Police_jail_rape_vict.shtml
<6> WTF
<4> its not in my lilo.conf or anything
<3> |neon|: not safe. disable it and get back to use.
<3> us
<4> ok
<7> yes, disable it
<6> why are you using lilo?
<7> i used radeonfb at first but it made X crash on exit
<3> nvidiafb is even worse
<3> nvidia-drivers flat out do NOT work with nvidiafb
<7> |neon| while you're disabling nvidiafb, tell us what exactly you have enabled there
<6> framebuffer?
<4> Dawai, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash#Required_Kernel_Options
<7> fglrx works with radeonfb but my system hangs when exiting X
<4> I did exactly that
<3> |neon|: if you had exactly that, plus nvidiafb, disable nvidiafb and see what happens
<7> that should work
<7> i have those options from the first screenshot, minus the splash thing
<7> works like a charm
<7> also with lilo btw
<4> alright
<4> brb
<3> that **** better come back and tell us when it works
<7> heh
<3> thats kinda funny, they took the gcc 4.2 & 4.3 snapshot ebuilds out of portage, probably sick of bug reports =)
<8> http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/193/1170118730434zt5.gif
<9> -_-
<4> yay
<4> it works
<4> hmm, what made me add the nvidiafb?
<10> anyone here able to help at the moment?
<10> This error came up during an emerge http://pastebin.com/871731 and although libintl and gettext are both there it still happens
