I'm working on compiling firefox for a
framebuffer enabled system. I've finally gotten to the point of turning
on the framebuffer and having that work. But I can only run that from
the command line ( reboot at init:3 ) and X always goes down when I do
the modprobe to load the fb module. I want to be able to run the gtk build of directfb, since firefox is a gtk app (although I may not _need_ it ultimately). How do I get into a graphical mode with the framebuffer running? is it merely a matter of setting the proper mode? I know the installed version of gtk is not framebuffer enabled, but I do have a version that is and I thought I'd be able to run that, but it says it can't open the display. ( I know that last bit is off topic a bit, but I thought I'd ask ) Is it possible to run X and framebuffer at the same time with only 1 video card? Do I need to do something specific with the ttyN? I found the directions to build the gtk version of directfb on the wiki. They were last updated Oct last year it looks like so I would think those are still the latest and greatest instructions. Is that correct? This makes me think that it is possible to have X and FB running, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Does DirectFb do all that X does (outside of being a server) so that it is one or the other? Is it possible to boot straight into DirectFB graphically? Thanks, redfive |
