So why is fb not > listed under /dev? Because the kernel will not create device nodes itself. If you use udev, udev will create the device node for you. If you don't use udev, you have to do it by hand: mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0 . (Note: the first framebuffer device is called /dev/fb0, not /dev/fb). Erik -- Erik Mouw -- mouw@xxxxxxxxxxxx
