Hi,
I am trying to run a directfb application on my RedHat 9 machine, with kernel version 2.6.13. I have built the kernel with the option "VESA VGA graphics support" and have the following line for grub.
vga=791 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr
After booting up "fbset -i" shows:

mode "1024x768-76"
    # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz
    geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16
    timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4
    rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode
 
Frame buffer device information:
    Name        : VESA VGA
    Address     : 0xe0000000
    Size        : 3145728
    Type        : PACKED PIXELS
    Visual      : TRUECOLOR
    XPanStep    : 0
    YPanStep    : 0
    YWrapStep   : 0
    LineLength  : 2048
    Accelerator : No

I have Directfb version 0.9.22 installed on my system.

When I run the application, it gives be nothing but a blank screen and I get the following message:

(*) DirectFB/Config: Parsing config file '/root/.directfbrc'.

I have tried this several times and have tried also with the option vga=788 at kernel command line. But with the same results..

Could the DirectFB version 0.9.22 be not compliant with the Linux kernel 2.6.13?
I installed my DirectFB before building the kernel, but I don't think this could be an issue...?

Can I get some help on this?

Thanks in advance!
