Re: [kvm-devel] Framebuffer error
Thanks a lot, I was looking at the wrong place. I was trying to launch the installation as root after sudoing. And as root I didn't have the DISPLAY variable. Now the installation is proceeding smoothly.

[kvm-devel] Framebuffer error
Hello, I know this is not probably the place, but as I haven't found a kvm-users list and probably some of you have encountered the same problem I feel it's the best place to post my problem. I have a macbook pro running Feisty with a Radeon Mobility X1600 and VMX cpu support and I was quite interested in trying kvm. I followed the steps of any of the online manuals, but I didn't get far. As soon as I tried to install Windows XP: kvm -no-acpi -m 384 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d windows.img I obtained the following output: -- DirectFB v0.9.25 - (c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH (c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH --- (*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2006-12-20 21:25) (*) Direct/Memcpy: Using MMX optimized memcpy() (!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' and '/dev/fb/0' failed --> No such file or directory (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device! (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable. (!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core! --> Initialization error! Could not initialize SDL - exiting I checked and couldn't find any framebuffer device in my computer. After googling a lot, creating those devices manually, trying to boot with both the propietary and open source driver, loading the radeonfb module I haven't been able to avoid this problem.
