I just finished building Xorg for LFS-7.3 and it seems to be OK so far. I am using the nouveau drivers and that loads fine. I only built the evdev, vesa, and nouveau drivers, but I suspect the others will build fine and run with the appropriate hardware.
LFS-7.3 tags for other drivers have not been updated, so if you test one and it works OK, let me know and I'll fix that. I do have one question about the kernel. During boot, it switches to a framebuffer device. I'd prefer that it not do that and just stay in the startup 80x25 character text screen. I can disable the framebuffer by passing 'nomodeset' on the kernel command line, but then I cannot enter X and I don't have /dev/fb0. Does anyone know how to disable the framebuffer switch for just the kernel boot sequence? Searching Google gives a lot of hits for grub, but that's not the problem. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
