directFB problem

Hi all,

I'm trying to run the Links browser via DirectFB: I compiled both Links and DirectFB, links was compiled with ./configure --with-directfb --without-x --enable-graphics

--enable-javascript

The system is s linux 2.4.21, with framebuffer active: I see the penguin logo, and I'm able to run microwindows, so I think the kernel framebuffer is OK.

When I start links I get the message:

Could not initialize graphics driver fb: Could not get VT mode.

I'm using the following /etc/directfbrc

system=fbdev mode=800x600 depth=16 banner no-hardware no-vt-switching mouse-protocol=MS3

and the following /etc/fb.modes:

mode "800x600x16" geometry 800 600 800 600 16 timings 39721 48 16 33 10 96 2 endmode

mode "800x600" geometry 800 600 800 600 16 timings 39721 48 16 33 10 96 2 endmode

Any idea where to look for?

thanks giammy

hi,

I found something, i think: the framebuffer initilaization seems to fail as it cannot initialize the mouse (Cannot open GPM mouse). Now I'm trying to check it: if I open the mouse as gpm -t /dev/ts the gpm daemon correctly starts ...

I'll let you know if I find something ...

bye
