[mythtv-users] splashy + nvidia + framebuffer

[Yan Seiner]

Has anyone any success in getting splashy running with the nvidia evil 
binary module?

I can't even get the framebuffer working.

I've built a 2.6.24 kernel with vesafb built in.  The system boots but 
vga=791 gives me an unknown video mode.

Scanning for modes returns only text modes; no video fb modes.

I've tried adding

video=vesafb to the kernel line; no joy.

The default debian 2.6.22 kernel has the same behavior.

I must be missing some magic incantation that will enable kernel 
framebuffer support.....

Is there some /proc or /sys thing I can check to see if my kernel has 
framebuffer support?
