This isn't a request for a problem solution on LFS, but for advice. In the decade I've been using LFS I've avoided using framebuffers. That's been OK for the stuff I do, which is as often on CLI as in X, but things have moved on a lot, and I guess it's time--got an i7 and Nvidia card now for one thing ;-) . On this LFS-7.2 system I'm building out I tried it, picking up the Nouveau driver in the process. As soon as udev creates /dev/fb0 the console explodes into huge screen with an itsy, bitsy miniscule font that is often too hard to read. Some stuff I see says to use vga=769 on the boot line. That does nothing. The LDP HowTo's are 5 years old and speak of kernel-2.1!
So my question is, where is a good source for me to get up to speed so I can make the console framebuffer behave the way I want outside of X? -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
