kernel configuration problem

kernel configuration problem

[Ralf HECKHAUSEN]

I am using an MPC860 board with an c't69000 VGA controller on it. I would like to try out the kernel frame buffer driver for the c't65550 chip, as it should be quite compatible to ours. 
When I select the frame buffer option, I get an unresolved reference error (video_setup) in main.o. The only thing to get arround this is to chose the Virtual Terminal option. But then I get an unresolved reference error (request_irq) in pc_keyb.o. Im am using the kernel 2.2.5. Isn't there a way just to use the frambuffer without console and keyboard?

Thanks,
Ralf

No....You have to include lots of this stuff, and then go into
the initialization files and make sure the initialization functions
for things like the keyboard are not called.  Not very embedded
friendly and something that needs attention.
