[mythtv-users] OT: Framebuffer / rivafb

[Stuart Felenstein]

All i know is for the Via Cle266 FB support that get's loaded as a module.  Direct FB support though is enable in the kernel, along with the Trident FB driver.  Go figure and I can't say if that applies to the riva.  This probably doesn't help.

I don't know anything about the rivafb module, but in general you have
to specify video=rivafb(or whatever) as a kernel boot parameter. How you
do that depends on which loader you are using. 

For lilo, add "video=rivafb" (<-- I assume) to the append line for your
kernel and re-run lilo.
