Re: Some tips for get framebuffer on X50V

Yup, i put mirror mode on, and tried booting the kernel without it.
I was thinking that it perhaps is something about the memory adresses,
the adresses that haret says are quite above the maximal virtual adress
that it says.
I'll try to update the rom this night, i suppouse they're on dell's webpage.
Now... off to work... sigh...
