Hello I have a MPC8260 processor card with a Coral-P evaluation board (rev 4.0). My system do not have keyboard nor mouse (i use the serial console).
I use linux kernel 2.4.25 & 2.6.9. For kernel 2.4.25 : I'm trying to get the framebuffer driver to work. During the boot the driver loads fine but the monitor remains blank (no video signal). If i try to `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb/0` nothing happens. I compiled an Xserver (Release 6.9), and the x11 drivers for the coralp. When I start X, it says that it can not open tty0 (indeed it doesn't exists). For kernel 2.6.9 : When I start X, it complains about virtual terminals but doesn't stop. It loads the x11_mb86290 driver then stop because it can't find a valid framebuffer driver. Is it mandatory to have the mb86290fb driver worknig in order to get the x11_mb86290 driver ? I guess it just a configuration problem but I can figure it out. I added the support for virtual terminals in my kernel (X seems to need it) but I don't have ttyN entries in /dev. If I add them manually, they can not be opened. Thanks for your help.
