It's VESA framebuffer.

I don't have such file :(
I found only fb config file in libGGI dir...

How?
What it gives?

No. It doesn't display anything, just runing program.
Actually I see nothing what's happening after runing application :(

Yes, I have VESAfb...
I don't have file /etc/fb.module (or any similiar) :(
Do I need some libraries, or program (fbcon)???

What works? My program? Yeah, my first program draws dot sinus ;)
When I'm trying to set mode for example 640x480, while my console
is 800x600 an error occures :(
But if I'm setting 800x600, or GGI_AUTO everything's OK...

If someone would use VESAfb 640x480, but my applications need 800x600,
the program won't run :(
What kind of framebuffer can change it's resolution not at boot time?
My kernel (2.2.14 i386) supports also matrox framebuffer, but I think
it's only for matrox's cards?
Where can I get KGIcon framebuffer and it's specification?
