Grml Blog

Debian based Linux Live system

grml running with vesafb-tng

I patched the grml-kernel (2.6.11-grml) with vesafb-tng:

grml@grml ~ % fbset -i

    # D: 65.003 MHz, H: 48.365 kHz, V: 60.006 Hz

I’ll do some more testing, if everything works fine the next devel-release will include the vesafb-tng-stuff.
