You must also load the fbcon kernel module (I'm not sure about what kernel options make it compile). This one allows tghe kernel to use a frame-buffer console. Needed on 2.6, not on 2.4, and only if you use the console keyboard/screen. You should try everything related to viafb over a remote shell (SSH), in order to keep control of the computer.

You'll get them : fbcon + SSH + dfbshow I just modify /etc/directfbrc to change the DirectFB resolution (gets back to 720x576 when quitting the DFB app). My /etc/directfbrc : mode=720x576 #mode=800x600 #mode=1024x768 depth=32 pixelformat=ARGB disable-module=lirc disable-module=joystick disable-module=cle266 #graphics-vt #no-graphics-vt #no-vt-switch #no-vt-switching no-vt Try the '*vt*' options after reading the man pages and the ML archives (vdr or directfb-users). -- NH
