Did that. Did start my application from the console prompt - no X running.
Did set GGI_DISPLAY to 'fbdev' before.
What follows is that I see a few debug print outs that I inserted into the code.
Then, the screen goes black and nothing happens - no mouse or keyboard control.
Had to warm-reset the machine.
I built my linux kernel with the following console driver settings in
.config:
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y
CONFIG_FBCON_VGA_PLANES=y
This is a 2.2.13 kernel and I have a Neomagic graphics card.
Is this problem related to my hardware configuration or is the Software
configuration faulty?
