You made out that framebuffers in the kernel were a waste of time for people using ssh or xorg. If all you ever do is ssh to your LFS box, then yes, a framebuffer is wasted. I was pointing out that for xorg on most modern hardware a framebuffer should be used.
In the past, I've intended not to reply to anything you post - the time I spend replying normally brings me no benefit, and my replies to you apparently bring you no benefit either. This time, I intend to stick to that intention. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
