Hello Anatolij,

Nice to hear from you and thank you for your suggestions.

I did what you said and now I have a /dev/fb0 with permissions

ls /dev/fb0 -alsh

0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Nov 13 18:25 /dev/fb0

Output of cat /proc/fb

No output.

Output of cat proc/cmdline

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=cb1268f1-4e20-4409-87b1-3d882c14102c ro nomodeset


Output of dmesg | grep vesa

No output.

When I try to run links2 -g now I get these errors:


   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.2.10 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        (c) 2001-2008  The world wide DirectFB Open Source Community
        (c) 2000-2004  Convergence (integrated media) GmbH

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2010-06-30 18:37) (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening '/dev/fb0'!
    --> No such device
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system_core' core!
    --> Not supported!


I hope that is helpful.

You have to add write permissions for the group also. Check if
/dev/fb0 can be accessed if you create it by using
sudo mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0 -m 660
sudo chown :video /dev/fb0

What is the output of following commands on your system?
cat /proc/fb
cat /proc/cmdline
dmesg | grep vesa
