I have an old mach64 that is NOT vesa 2.0 (vesa 1.2). The chipset is a
210888GX00 or 888GX00. When I try to pass video selections to the kernel
I get..
atyfb: Unknown mach64 0xffff
The only case that does not give me this response is...
video=atyfb:off
I've tried passing video=atyfb:0x4758, video=atyfb:0x00d7 and
video=atyfb:0x4758:0x00d7, to the kernel none of which succeed. I have 2
questions.
1) Should atyfb work with a vesa 1.2 888GX00?
2) Where can I find the list of video options (video=atyfb:*)?
Here is a copy of the console section of my kernel config...
