Enabling frame-buffer support in debian kernel
Hello I'm trying to enable frame-buffer support while configuring kernel-source-2.4.18, but all I get is a greyed-out list of choices in xconfig. This is what I've done a) installed kernel-source-2.4.18, kernel-patches for debianlogo and preempt (official debian patches), nvidia-glx-1.0.2880, nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz and acpi-20020918-2.4.18.diff.gz, all in /usr/src. b) cd /usr/src and... ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux gunzip acpi-20020918-2.4.18.diff.gz cd linux patch -p1 ../acpi-20020918-2.4.18.diff c) added the following lines to the end of /etc/kernel-pkg.conf... patch_the_kernel := YES config_target := xconfig d) in /usr/src/linux did make-kpkg kernel_image --added-patches debianlogo,preempt which adds the debian patches and executes xconfig ...and that's about as far as I get. I can't see what choices I've made that could have disabled frame-buffer and I can't find any relevent patches. Has anyone got any ideas how I can get this working? Steve p.s. I tried kernale-source-2.4.20 but the appropriate acpi patch wouldn't apply and frame-buffer was disabled anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
