-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Well, I need to update my post some. I looked at the linux-image package and further at /lib/modules/2.6.26.... directory and I do actually find a couple modules who start with 'fb' in the video subdirectory. But still no /dev/fb device. If this kernel was prebuilt with the options as shown in the related config file in /boot, then I would expect the kernel to include framebuffer support. If that is the case, then how does one get the framebuffer support to be active so the device exists. Do I have to mess around with udev some how?
