How to use it? | |
============== | |
efifb does not have any kind of autodetection of your machine. | |
You have to add the following kernel parameters in your elilo.conf: | |
Macbook : | |
video=efifb:macbook | |
MacMini : | |
video=efifb:mini | |
Macbook Pro 15", iMac 17" : | |
video=efifb:i17 | |
Macbook Pro 17", iMac 20" : | |
video=efifb:i20 | |
Accepted options: | |
nowc Don't map the framebuffer write combined. This can be used | |
to workaround side-effects and slowdowns on other CPU cores | |
when large amounts of console data are written. | |
