Question: Who should make the device /dev/fb0? Should I create it? If I
need to create it, would anyone know the options for mknod? `mknod
/dev/fb0 c X X' Thanks.
Here is what I have:
a 2.2 kernel
XFree86-3.3.3.1a-20.armv4l.rpm which I don't know if it works, so am
trying to test, but if I go and make X a symlink to XF68_FBDev here is
what I get:
[root@dilgar X11]# startx
XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 4 1999
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.2-1a.rmk4 armv4l [ELF]
Configured drivers:
FBDev: Server for frame buffer device
(Patchlevel 10): mfb, iplan2p2, iplan2p4, iplan2p8, ilbm, afb, cfb8,
cfb16, cfb32
(using VT number 7)
XF86Config: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(**) XKB: disabled
(**) Mouse: type: BusMouse, device: /dev/mouse, buttons: 3
(**) FBDev: Graphics device ID: "Linux/m68k Frame Buffer Device"
(**) FBDev: Monitor ID: "Generic Monitor"
(**) FontPath set to

Fatal server error:
open_framebuffer: failed to open /dev/fb0 (No such file or directory)
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
[root@dilgar X11]#
This X server does have some arm patches, but I'm not certain if it works.
So does anyone know about /dev/fb0, how to create it?
Thanks,
