You should add a line to your /etc/lilo.conf, like: vga = 0x305 The number is the VESA mode to be used (see linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt). > The above problem is also explained in the FAQ in the www.direcfb.org, so I > tried putting the correct mode in top of the fb.mode files, I selected the > resolution 800x600 with 16bit colors, but this time also it reported the > same error. > > Then I tried using the fbset utility for testing the framebuffer.

That's because vesafb can't switch modes. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" convergence integrated media GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
