<body class='hmmessage'><div style="text-align: left;">Jordan,<br><br>I tried the patch and this time lxfb does detect the device but then I am still seeing the green lines during the boot.<br><br>I am attaching my full dmesg output. Here is a relevant part of the output:<br>[ 0.173435] GEODE: VSA SIG = 534d<br>[ 0.173507] GEODE: Read from VSA<br>[ 0.178915] lxfb 0000:00:01.1: 32768 KB of video memory at 0xe0000000<br>[ 0.199949] fb0: Geode LX frame buffer device<br><br>I still think there might be something else going on in addition to this because I can get the lxfb working just fine on a 2.6.24 Debian Kernel.<br><br>Thank you once again for your time.

The attached patch checks <br>> for both IDs, and should make everything better. This is an<br>> urgent patch that needs to be sent to Linus ASAP, but I need <br>> some testing on it first.
