Hi,

This is similar to another post on this mailing list. However I did not see any replies to that post.

I am using DirectFB 1.0.0-rc2. I am trying to run one of the tutorials and I get the following error:

I copied the fb.modes file coming with the package to /etc/fb.modes. I still get the error. I am using Ubuntu 5.10 on Vmware 5.0.

Thanks in advance
Amal
