I have patched the kernel for the vmware FB and done new builds of it,
directfb, and directfb-examples. Yes, I did a modprobe vmware and it seems
to initialize well.
I can't run any of the directfb-examples. The error message is:
"vmwarefb: Acceleration cannot be disabled once it it's initialized"
This looks like it is coming fro mthe kernel
The stdout errors from the examples are:
(!)DirectFB/core/fbdev/ Could not disable console acceleration!
-> Invalid Argument
(!) DirectFB/core: Error during initialization: dfb_fbdev_initialize()
I compiled DirectFB with --multi-app, could this be part of the problem
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
