Hi,
I am trying to configure framebuffer for X on redhat linux 7.2 .
I have done the following things.
1. I installed the rpm XFree86-FBDev-3.3.6-42.rpm and =
XFree86-fonts-4.2.rpm.
2. Created a softlink :
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_FBDev /etc/X11/X.
3. In the XF86Config file, i set the :-
Driver "fbdev"
Modes "default".
Depth 8
FontPath "unix/:7100"
Also using 'make menuconfig', in 'console drivers', enable:
[*] VGA text console
[*] Video mode selection support
[*] Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] VESA VGA graphics console
[*] Advanced low level driver options
<*> 8 bpp packed pixels support
<*> 16 bpp packed pixels support
<*> 24 bpp packed pixels support
With all these set. I start the startx. And it gives the following =
output:
*************************************************************************=
