Folk, This system is Debian Lenny with kernel 2.6.24.
DirectFB and qemu are completely unfamiliar to me. Nevertheless I tried to boot an image. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ qemu -m 40 -boot d -cdrom /home/peter/Desk*/AosCD.iso =======================| DirectFB 1.0.1 |======================= (c) 2001-2007 The DirectFB Organization (directfb.org) (c) 2000-2004 Convergence (integrated media) GmbH ------------------------------------------------------------ (*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core.

Is DirectFB appropropriate for use by qemu? If so, how should /dev/fb0 be created? What configurations are likely to be missing? Thanks for any ideas, ...
