Daplas'" , linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Hi There Thanks again for the help - very much appreciated. Still not seeing the terminal on the display. We have linux running in a FPGA. The FPGA has a vga-ish hardware core inside of it. The core transfers 16/32bit pixels from the frame buffer to the display. It looked like there were options for a display that had a built in character generator and there were options for the "VGA console" Do you (or someone) have an autoconf.h that you could share for a linux build that properly displays the bash/logins/startup on a VGA display? Thanks so much!

I would like to see the startup > messages/login prompt on the VGA display. CONFIG_VT=y; CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER=m or y (of course) CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y (or CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m followed by modprobe fbcon) CONFIG_FONT_8x16 (or any built-in fonts available). In your boot parameters, include console=tty0, just to be sure. Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
