Framebuffer problem on 8800GTX

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with framebuffer on my Arch64. I've installed v86d and I can't choice more than 800x600

I've also tried with an Ubuntu live CD and the frambuffer is working better, I can choice the max resolution (1920x1200)

Is anybody can help me ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

David.

Did you follow the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uve … _the_hooks ?

Hello,
Thanks for your message, of course I put the V86d in the hooks and regenerated the initramfs.
But before when I used vesafb I had exactly the same problem. It never worked with Arch.

Regards,
David.

I vaguely recall similar problems about a year ago, but then I discovered KMS + nouveaufb so I don't care about v86d anymore ;P
