GRX compile and install went fine; link with user program went fine. Using 'svgalib' works (only certain resolutions, but I'll save discussion for another thread). Using 'linuxfb' results in:
"GrSetMode: could not find suitable video driver"
I tried both as user 'root' and as other: same error. 'lfbinfo' (run both as 'root' and as other) yields:
"Can't open /dev/fb0"
I checked that /dev/fb0 *does* exist (and other various /dev/fb#). Found a reference in GRX mailing list archive that framebuffer support might not be enabled. How do I enable framebuffer support on Linux? XFree86 config? Kernel recompile? How? How do I check if framebuffer support is already enabled?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone could provide. Lance
