Re: disabling framebuffer device
I seem to have accidently cracked it, look in the /etc/X11 and edit XF86Config-4. Find the section that says section 'device', and in that section there is a field Option useFBdevicetrue change true to 'false' and that seems to have done it for me. People who know much more about Xfree86 may say there is a proper way to do this?
