You have to configure the kernel to use the framebuffer as console device. Check especially the following configuration options: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS=y CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y CONFIG_VT=y CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_CONSOLE_NOBLANK=y CONFIG_CONSOLE_NOCUR=y Also, see the FAQ at http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/NoInputUsingFramebuffer Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-4596-87 Fax: (+49)-8142-4596-88 Email: wd@denx.de I'd like to meet the man who invented sex and see what he's working on now. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
