Check if some frame buffer drivers are installed in your system, so e.g. run ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video to see if there are any frame buffer driver modules installed. Then you have to select the suitable driver for your graphic card and load it by running modprobe drivername > I don't have any backlisted framebuffer drivers, what is stopping me from > loading a frame buffer driver? > > Does anyone know what I have to do? Usually the driver should be loaded automatically if it is installed. Maybe some error happened while loading the driver. Dump the kernel log messages by running dmesg and check if there was an attempt to load the driver for your graphic card.
