The kernel framebuffer driver isn't loading. You still have a line like vga=791 video=... in the kernel line for lilo or grub which ever you are using right? The kernel you compiled has compiled support for your framebuffer?

Hi,

A couple of days ago, I upgraded my kernel to 2.4.22-rc2, with the
fusion patch applied. At the same time I also upgraded my DirectFB to
version 0.9.19 and mplayer to version 0.91 patched with Ville's
vo_dfbmga.update.patch from his site, all compiled from sources in that
order. I have a 32mb G400 card, running Debian testing.

I used to be able to succesfully watch videos on my tv using patched
dfb-0.9.17 and mplayer with kernel 2.4.19 using mplayers dfbmga
videodevice. Now with my upgraded components, running 'mplayer -vo
dfbmga ...' as root, I get;

I'm totally lost here, everything should be fine. Is it possible, that
the framebuffer layer has somehow changed in 2.4.22-rc2 ? Any help
highly appreciated.

Here are some more information:
