How to activate framebuffer with Fedora 18?
I boot into multi-user mode and like to use the framebuffer with mplayer to view videos. With
Code:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg EDIT: Apparently the framebuffer is working, it's a problem with mplayer, which I downloaded from rpmfusion. Here's the output from mplayer: Code:
mplayer -vo fbdev some_video.mpg |
I'm not sure the problem is mplayer. You might be getting those error messages because the framebuffer isn't enabled.
Do a google search: enable framebuffer in kernel Yes, there are some options you can pass to grub. |

I don't know how much experience you have building, but if you want to play it safe, pass --prefix=$HOME so you can install it as a non-priveleged user, so you don't have to worry about overwriting any files provided by "official" packages. Or you might want to wait a few days and see if anybody more knowledgeable than myself replies. ;) |

Sorry about resurrecting this old thread but I think it might help somebody.
I solved this by using Code:
mplayer -vo fbdev2 <some_video_file> |
If I recall right, I too had to use fbdev2 last time I tried using the framebuffer with mplayer (because fbdev didn't work). I don't know why either.
