As you are using a debian system it should be very easy to enable framebuffer - afterwards you should not experience any problems. You need to add the argument vga=791 to the bootargs in your bootloader config. For grub (default on debian systems) this is /boot/grub/menu.lst

Search the entries corresponding to your bootmenu (quite at the end of the file) and add the argument. For the meaning of 791 and a more detailed tutorial i suggest doing a google search :)

After a reboot your framebuffer should be activated.

Hello All,
I had successfully completed the compilation of Microwindow in debian 4.0
base system.

But while am trying to start ./nano-X it's giving error message like

"error opening /dev/fb0 no such file or directory check kernel config cannot
intialise screen."

From the mail repository some where it's mentioned that have to enable fb in
kernel.
But while am trying to run it in background( nano-X &) and tried to run some applications like ./nxterm etc.. it's not opening but not giving any error
messages.

So is it really the problem with kernel or something else.


With Regards
Siji Sunny
