Re: no xenfb module in 2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen ?

Hi Mark,

thanks for the answer. If it's built into the kernel, why can't I modprobe it, or see it in the list of loaded modules? Maybe I'm missing something here??? Here's the output from my DomU running with this kernel:

It's built-in to the kernel since it's used early on in boot to display
to the console:

 CONFIG_XEN_FRAMEBUFFER=y

Cheers,
Mark.
