Re: new igmafb driver



Thanks for the information. About the later suggestion (DRMKMS), anyone know if is there a guide explaining how to compile the kernel and setup the framebuffer in different resolutions??
Thanks!

Hello!
I have noticed a new IGMAFB driver is provided since this January in current branch.
Anyone know where I can get documentation to set it up (if its exists), or how I can setup the framebuffer for my intel HD 4000 card?
It is neccesary to recompile the kernel?

NOTE: I have yesterday's current installed in my laptop.

Thanks!

I believe there is an igma(4) man page you can refer to.

In any case, I created an IGMA kernel config, which looks like:

cassava:riz  ~/src> more sys/arch/amd64/conf/IGMA
include         "arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC"

options VGA_RASTERCONSOLE
no options VGA_POST
no agp
no device at drm
no genfb
igma0 at pci0 dev ? function ?
igmafb* at igma0
iic* at igma0


... and that worked.  However, you may want to try the DRMKMS kernel config in the latest -current, as that has a hardware-accelerated driver which (hopefully) should work for your Intel HD 4000.  (we're hoping to merge it into GENERIC for 7.0)
