hi, I have 2.4 kernel + 4.1.0 X (and you have 2.2 kernel + 3.3.6 X.)
I'll tell you what I have done to get X run on fbdev. I enabled vesafb just as u did. In /etc/X11/XF86Congig i changed the driver from "trident" to "fbdev" (my card is trident btw). and did "startx" to run X on fbdev. maybe you need to change fbdev's resolution during boot or upgrade your X for it to work. --- Jijo Jose A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > > Now i am trying to configure X server for the Frame > Buffer Device on my S3 > card. > I did successfully compiled the kernel 2.2.14 i586 > with VESA FB and it's > booted in 0x318 (1024x768) graphics mode and got a > penguin logo. > > After that I've configured the options on > XF86Configure according to the > linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. > But when i starting the XF86_FBDev server,the Server > mode data base won't > mathed with my mode ie shown by fbset > and it simply terminates with an error. > > The fbset will shows > $ fbset --xfree86 > > > --------------------- > Mode "1024x768" > # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz > DotClock 78.654 > HTimings 1024 1056 1184 1312 > VTimings 768 772 776 792 > Flags "-HSync" "-VSync" > EndMode > --------------------- > > The server output : > > --------------------- > XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System > (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release > 6300) > Release Date: January 8 2000 > If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your > card is newer > than the above date, look for a newer version > before reporting > problems.
