I can now ssh in. Still nothing in the console. When I try to run Xorg, I get: (EE) Failed to load module "siliconmotion" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory Hmm... xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion was not installed. Let's try again. (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory (EE) SMI(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (5) No such file or directory I guess I removed it because it crashed the X server with earlier kernels. OK. I guess I need to look into the display drivers. Now wasn't there one in the staging tree? Yup. drivers/staging/sm7xx . Building vs. the -headers package. insmoding. Looks nicer... Adding it to /etc/modules, and I have a console. So, should it be built into the kernel? Be probed by something? It should at least be built as a module, I guess. Oh, and the siliconmotion Xorg driver still segfaults. I must remove it if I want a working X. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [email protected] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [email protected] | | best [email protected] | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
