Hi, that sounds really promising! :) I tried to compile the stuff...but... When starting to emerge v86d (was it that name...cant remember exactly) also linux-2.6.26 starts to download and klibc.* I checked, for what klibc is good for and in this case it is used for calling the userland tool via from initram, which I do not plan... Ok, I thought, than "low level". I compiled v86d by hand using "./configure --default" for the default configuration. But this time it fails to compile with: make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mccramer/data/downloads/v86d-0.1.9/libs/x86emu' cc -march=native -O2 -pipe -msse3 -I/lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include -Ilibs/x86emu -c -o v86_x86emu.o v86_x86emu.c In file included from /usr/include/asm/types.h:4, from /lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include/linux/types.h:4, from /lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include/linux/connector.h:25, from v86.h:7, from v86_x86emu.c:4: /lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h:11:29: error: asm/bitsperlong.h: No such file or directory In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include/linux/connector.h:25, from v86.h:7, from v86_x86emu.c:4: /lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include/linux/types.h:13:2: warning: #warning "Attempt to use kernel headers from user space, see http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelHeaders" make: *** [v86_x86emu.o] Error 1 I dont know, what the problem is...I am using linux-2.6.36.2 vanilla and compile this kernel with uvesafb support in beforehand. Nonetheless there seems something to be missed in the kernel sources... My goal is to have a better resolution on the console as this 8bit homecomputer like crap. It doesnot matter that much, whether switching to the higher resolution happens when the first boot scripts are read from /etc ... May I ask you for a little more informations how to proceed here? How did you achieve a working uvesafb? Do you use the gentoo sources or the vanilla kernel? Best regards and thank you very much in advance for your help! mcc
