I tried # mv /dev/fb /dev/fb0 It didn't work, so I moved it back to fb and I tried to create fb0... # mv /dev/fb0 /dev/fb # mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 32 startx still report (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such device Xwindows is trying to use the new nouveau NVIDIA driver. Maybe there is a problem with the driver?
