| 18:47.02 | ozy` | sup everyone |
| 18:47.15 | simonrvn | the sky |
| 18:48.37 | ozy` | I'm using an old machine as not much more than a typewriter |
| 18:48.49 | ozy` | and I'd like an 80-column console |
| 18:49.22 | ozy` | booting with video=atyfb (or no video argument at all) does this, but there are weird artifacts in the display |
| 18:49.51 | simonrvn | video=atyfb,scrollback:256k -- is what i do on my beige g3 |
| 18:50.06 | ozy` | I'll try that, BRB |
| 18:50.45 | simonrvn | usually just setting the video device "does the right thing" but it needs to be built-in to work nicely on those old ppcs (and newer ones too, dunno about the inhel macs) |
| 18:51.51 | simonrvn | there's various mode settings you can look up in the macmode documentation, in the kernel source. |
| 18:52.31 | ozy` | nope, doesn't help |
| 18:52.59 | simonrvn | setting it nicely is almost an art |
| 18:53.00 | ozy` | hmmm |
| 18:53.21 | ozy` | the artifact does go away with video=ofonly |
| 18:53.44 | simonrvn | is that video card built-in? |
| 18:53.49 | ozy` | can I use that, but change the number of rows and columns? |
| 18:53.52 | ozy` | I think so |
| 18:54.05 | ozy` | this also happens to be a beige G3 |
| 18:54.14 | simonrvn | if not, try switching out some of the video ram sticks (if any) |
| 18:55.05 | simonrvn | hm, mine works ok; could be h/w, could be kernel driver bug (though i don't know of any unfixed recent ones) |
| 18:55.19 | ozy` | might be |
| 18:55.21 | ozy` | I dunno |
| 18:55.41 | ozy` | I didn't see it with older kernels (I used to have yellow dog installed) |
| 18:55.46 | simonrvn | is it a desktop or tower model? |
| 18:55.56 | ozy` | desktop |
| 18:56.02 | simonrvn | sec |
| 18:56.46 | simonrvn | hm, the desktop one here is in use, i can't pop the case open, but iirc it doesn't have video ram stick slots... but i think i'm remembering wrong |
| 18:58.46 | simonrvn | anyway, you could try setting the mode via fbset. like fbset 800x600-70 or 1024x768-60 (and set with -a if it works; see --help for what -a is) |
| 18:59.51 | ozy` | okay |
| 19:00.02 | ozy` | I'll give this a shot |
| 19:00.05 | ozy` | BRB |
| 19:00.40 | simonrvn | don't need to reboot it for fbset |
| 19:03.33 | ozy` | I'm not rebooting it :p it's on another floor |
| 19:06.52 | simonrvn | ok =) |
| 19:21.01 | ozy` | well, fbset didn't help much after all |
| 19:21.08 | ozy` | but I did discover a workaround |
| 19:22.00 | ozy` | I booted into Mac OS, set the resolution to 640x480, and then booted back into Linux with video=ofonly |
| 19:22.32 | ozy` | and now my only concern is the annoying high-pitched ringing sound the monitor is making |
| 19:22.39 | ozy` | off to find ear plugs... |
| 19:25.25 | simonrvn | oh crap |
| 19:25.42 | simonrvn | maybe it's the monitor? |
| 19:35.19 | ozy` | it's not the monitor |
| 19:35.26 | ozy` | well maybe it is |
| 19:35.50 | ozy` | but it's not -just- the monitor |
| 19:36.32 | ozy` | it's probably some weird interaction between the monitor, video card, and driver |
| 19:37.28 | ozy` | the monitor's max resolution is 1152 by something |
| 19:37.33 | ozy` | which is definitely weird |
| 19:39.02 | ozy` | anyway, thanks for your advice :p |
| 19:48.26 | simonrvn | well, good luck with that. i hope you find the problem. np. |
