sorry... my english(((

how I can use LFB addresses when using paging enabled... I must configure page tables for higher memory?
If i getting LFB address dynamically (by VESA init), so every time (means every PC-platform) page tables will be different.

P.S. Why i am asking? Becouse on this time my page tables used for 2MB of memory. Before pagetables_init VESA_LFB workin correctly, but when I use VESA_LFB after pagetables_init - graph. didnt work...

Thanks, already not needed))
I already do something crazy: I am defined ALL 1 mln. pages for 4GB memory... for now no any problems with video.
Now, I can mark not present/used pages manually...

narada,

Probably 2/4 MiB pages could make life easier.

Why do you have to page-translate entire 4 GiB range?

Don't forget to mark LFB as UC/USWC using MTRR, otherwise you will get strange results periodically.
