Hello,
I have the ide-controller running on my mips-board. My next step will be to get
some graphics out of this box. On the board is an onboard graphics chip and
according to the specs it is VGA compatible.
I am using the serial-console for debugging and for sending characters to the
box. My source tree is based on kernel 2.2.12.
Because the chip is VGA compatible I try to get the VGA16 framebuffer running
on the box. After enabling the VGA16 framebuffer I receive the following output:
Jumping to image at 800605DCh...

It is doing the take_over_console but when I check the output of my
VGA-connector there is no signal. Someone an idea how I can debug this???
Has somebody any experience with framebuffers on a mips?
Any hints/links/tips would be welcome,
Thanks for your time,
Erik
