Does RedHat 9 with kernel 2.4.20 - 8 support framebuffering?


If it doesn't, can I somehow install framebuffering in kernel?

If it does, how can I make it work?
Thanx

you should be able to do that by just recompiling the kernel with framebuffer enabled but first check if your current kernel has framebuffer disabled did you even check ?
