Odds are you don't need to use fbdev... Use XFree86 -configure to generate a basic configuration, tweak the resulting file (you'll probably want to add lines to load the type1, speedo and freetype modules), then copy it as /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

I am running V. 4.1.0 of the X server. I can't seem to get X to start up at all after updating, and I also can't seem to get the trackpad to work. I get the error starting X ... Data Incomplete in file "/etc/X11/XF86Config" Device Section "Linux Fram Buffer Device" must have a driver line. (EE) Problems parsing the config file (EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile() Now I tried to run XFree86 -configure but that dies with an error... 'Caught signal 11. Server aborting' and about a hundred Symbol errors. Now I know that I have to add a driver line for the X error...but, how? Any chance the config file could work for my setup? And I would also really appreciate some help getting my mouse to work. Right now I am using Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" Thanks soo much for the help!
