I try to use Xfree86 with fbdev_drv in embedded system and i got stuck to "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0" or "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot find a free VT" etc.
The problem is that the device is embedded ppc without any console at all and least there won't never be one in /dev/tty0 that is normally linked to serial port. The problem is that /dev/tty0 looks a like to be hardcoded to "xf86OpenConsole(void)" in xfree86 lnx_init.c and it is called unconditionally from xf86Init.c . I have not found any switch to switch console off from xfree86 config files. Also linkig /dev/tty to /dev/null or /dev/vcs0 etc does not help, it just replaces "can not open" error with "Cannot find a free VT". I know that i can hack xfree86 source and remove this dependency by hand but it looks a like not to be right or most elegant solution because i can't believe that i am first one that tries to use fbdev in embedded hw without any console. The the linux distribution and filesystem is stantard eldk 3.0 ppc_82xx . Kate ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
