Re: Framebuffer error

[Benjamin Budts <benjamin.budts-rJAIWvhRp0CZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org>]

I had the same problem, I missed couple of SDL packages...

here is my package list under debian :

 ii  libsdl1.2-dev                     
1.2.11-8                            Simple DirectMedia Layer development 
files
ii  libsdl1.2debian                   
1.2.11-8                            Simple DirectMedia Layer
ii  libsdl1.2debian-alsa              
1.2.11-8                            Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 
and ALSA

also check the following file :
/sys/class/misc/kvm/dev

I had to create a file manually using mknod...

mknod /dev/kvm c  (low and high number of the file above

hope this helps you out
