I have had problems getting this to work also, but was able to get it |
| 2 |
working finally |
| 3 |
after being directed to the authors website and following his instructions. |
| 4 |
What I |
| 5 |
did was get a 2.6.24 kernel working for me fully with no errors then |
| 6 |
proceded to follow |
| 7 |
spock's instructions to get uvesafb working properly on both my desktop and |
| 8 |
laptop. |

Hope this gives you what you need to get it working. |
