11 Hi,
12
13 that sounds really promising! :)
14
15 I tried to compile the stuff...but...
16
17 When starting to emerge v86d (was it that name...cant remember
18 exactly) also linux-2.6.26 starts to download and klibc.*
19
20 I checked, for what klibc is good for and in this case it is
21 used for calling the userland tool via from initram, which I
22 do not plan...
23
24 Ok, I thought, than "low level".
25
26 I compiled v86d by hand using "./configure --default" for the
27 default configuration.
28
29 But this time it fails to compile with:
30
31 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mccramer/data/downloads/v86d-0.1.9/libs/x86emu'
32 cc -march=native -O2 -pipe -msse3 -I/lib/modules/2.6.36.2/source/include -Ilibs/x86emu -c -o v86_x86emu.o v86_x86emu.c

43 make: *** [v86_x86emu.o] Error 1
44
45
46 I dont know, what the problem is...I am using linux-2.6.36.2 vanilla
47 and compile this kernel with uvesafb support in beforehand.
48 Nonetheless there seems something to be missed in the kernel
49 sources...
50
51 My goal is to have a better resolution on the console as this
52 8bit homecomputer like crap. It doesnot matter that much, whether
53 switching to the higher resolution happens when the first boot scripts
54 are read from /etc ...
55
56 May I ask you for a little more informations how to proceed here?
57 How did you achieve a working uvesafb? Do you use the gentoo sources
58 or the vanilla kernel?
59
60 Best regards and thank you very much in advance for your help!
