Subject: CONFIG_FB_VIA made the screen go black
Hi,
It seems that I was unfortunate and managed to get CONFIG_FB_VIA=y in
my config. The result is that during boot, when via_fb loads, the
screen goes black. I put CONFIG_FB_VIA=n as the only change to my
config and the screen works again. Actually, just before going black,
a few lines (I mean pixel rows) would shortly flicker or move up and
down the screen.
Here's what changed in dmesg when making this config change:
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5
Platform driver 'da903x-backlight' needs updating - please use dev_pm_ops
-VIA Graphics Intergration Chipset framebuffer 2.4 initializing
-ioremap failed
no IO addresses supplied
Platform driver 'tmio-fb' needs updating - please use dev_pm_ops
ACPI: SSDT 000000007fe7ac90 001EA (v01 PmRef Cpu0Ist 00003000 INTL 20051117)
I don't actually have a VIA card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)
The machine booted fine otherwise. This was post-2.6.30 kernel from a
few days ago. I attached the log of the failure case in case there is
anything useful in there.
