Well, back home again and I've been able to do some tests. vesafb boots fine with 2.6.2-rc2, just I have to specify the parameter suggested by Zack Winkles : "vga=0795 video=vesafb:ywrap,pmipal,mtrr" > Give it a try.

I tried the patch you mention here: http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz against 2.6.1 (it does not apply to 2.6.2-rc2) and it does not work for me. I can only use 640x480. Any other resolution I try results in an usupported frequency for my monitor. My graphics card is: # lspci -s 01:00.1 -v 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5d44 (rev 01) Subsystem: Unknown device 18bc:0171 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32 Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at e5010000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Please let me know if I can try anything else. I'll be very glad to test it (so I can use radeonfb, because as I said, I prefer it over vesafb).
