[gentoo-user] Xorg problem after upgrade

[Jacob Klitmøller]

HI

After my most recent upgrade (emerge -uDav world) on my 2.4.28 kernel 
laptop my xorg will not start. I get the error that

(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

Before the upgrade xorg startet without any problems. I am uncertain if 
xorg was upgraded or the problem is something else. I do not have fb 
support in the kernel, so my question is, how do I tell xorg that it 
shouldn't try open /dev/fb0 (or am I reading the problem wrong)?

Thank you

Jacob Klitmøller

The first thing you should do is find out what was upgraded by emerge -uD
world. "genlop --date yesterday" will list what you installed in the last
24 hours.

A wok is what you throw at a wabbit.

For me, using the "radeon" driver, it is:

Option "UseFBDev" "On"  # or in your case, "Off"

Check the man page for the x.org driver you are using...it should 
specify something.
