What have I forgotten in kernel configuration? not exactly sure, but I'd look under menuconfig-> Device Drivers-> Graphics support. In particular: <*> VESA VGA graphics support VESA driver type (vesafb) (use vesafb-tng on 32-bit) Console display driver support ---> [*] Video mode selection support (you already have this i think) <*> Framebuffer Console support (you probably have this already) > 2 (this is really incredible) fonts disappeared on the Realplayer -> > Graphics support window!!!!! Instead of chars . . . boxes. i.e. file > = 4 boxes,settings = 7 boxes, etc ?????? > Realplayer works fine but it is the only one app with this problem. I had the same problem with firefox-bin not so long ago. I created a forum thread about it: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4185590.html#4185590 don't know if it'll help or not. > Regards > > emilio > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
