Hi,
I am trying to configure
framebuffer for X on redhat linux 7.2 .
I have done the following things.
1. I installed the rpm
XFree86-FBDev-3.3.6-42.rpm and XFree86-fonts-4.2.rpm.
2. Created a softlink :
ln -sf
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_FBDev /etc/X11/X.
3. In the XF86Config file, i set the
:-
Driver
"fbdev"
Modes
"default".
Depth
8
FontPath
"unix/:7100"
Also using 'make menuconfig', in 'console
drivers', enable:
[*] VGA text console [*] Video mode selection support [*] Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) [*] VESA VGA graphics console [*] Advanced low level driver options <*> 8 bpp packed pixels support <*> 16 bpp packed pixels support <*> 24 bpp packed pixels support With all these set. I start the startx. And it
gives the following output:
************************************************************************************
