RedHat9 Frame Buffer Kernel Support


Ok, how can I get the frame buffer support enabled in the RedHat 9 Kernel.

When I do a "make xconfig" It comes up, then I click console drivers, click the next button, but all of my frame buffer options are greyed out.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

You'll usually need to enable something before you branch it out. I found this on a site that might help you determine what you need to enable so your framebuffer options aren't grey'd out.

Code:
Console drivers 
  • VGA text console... N (that's right: NO)
  • Support for frame buffer devices... Y
  • SGI Visual Workstation framebuffer support... Y
  • Advanced low lever driver options... Y
  • 8/16/24 bpp packed pixels... Y
  • Support only 8 pixels wide fonts... Y
  • Select compiled-in fonts
  • VGA 8x8 font... Y
  • VGA 8x16 font... Y
