The cpu is AMD C-70 APU and powerd/cpufreq doesn't seem to recognise it. Think I'll need to ask -hardware about it. > > In the meantime I've found that links2 might do what I want as it supports > > text and graphics in svga/framebuffer. > > > > thanks for the suggestion > >More likely for it and similar things to work using sc rather than vt ? not sure. The present console is "like" a graphical console. I'm a bit out of my depth here.The following graphical modules are loaded at boot time: radeonkms.ko (which then loads:) radeonkmsfw_PALM_pfp.ko radeonkmsfw_PALM_me.ko radeonkmsfw_SUMO_rlc.ko without these loaded, it looks like a blocky text mode console. I've not experimented yet with sc rather than vt, or with links -g in either environment. -- J.
