I am sure if this has to do with this problem. On the machine that does work correctly using the directfb, I have a fbcon module loaded. The computer that is not working does not have this module loaded. I tried loading the module using insmod and modprobe, but fails on both. I checked to make sure the module is actually on the hard drive, which it is. here is the output:
jack:/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/video/console# insmod ./fbcon
insmod: can't read './fbcon': No such file or directory
jack:/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/video/console# insmod fbcon
insmod: can't read 'fbcon': No such file or directory
jack:/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/video/console# modprobe fbcon
FATAL: Error inserting fbcon (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/video/console/fbcon.ko): No such device
Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I am trying to do all of this as root.
Thanks,
Dave

Gang,
I have installed Debian on another computer with a DVD RW drive. I can mount the drive, read the dvd contents, but I can't play the DVD movie. I then tried to play a movie already converted into an AVI, but couldn't play that one either. I figured it might be a problem with X, so I decided to try to use directfb (since this seems to work very well on another computer I am using). I installed the libdirectfb, libdirectfb-bin, libdirectfb-extras packages for Debian, changed the grub boot loader configuration to reflect what is said in the "Configuring the linux framebuffer device" in the readme (as directed by Ville - thanks Ville), but to no avil, still no picture or sound. When I run with directfb, I get the following:
(*) Single Application Core. (with MMX support) (2005-01-31 07:23)
(*) DirectFB/misc/memcpy: using MMXEXT optimized memcpy()
(!) DirectFB/core/fbdev: Error opening `/dev/fb0'!
--> No such device
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
--> Not supported!
(!) DirectFB/Core: Error during initialization (Not supported!)
vo_directfb2.c <274>:
(#) DirectFBError [DirectFBCreate (&dfb)]: Not supported!
What am I missing. I have checked that the /dev/fb0 file does indeed exist with permissions 660, but I am still having problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
