4 In addition to what I wrote in my other reply, make sure you use a 32bit
5 Live CD. vbetest does not work with 64-bit kernels.

7 Btw, if you're on a 32-bit Gentoo, you can compile lrmi on it. Steps:
8
9 Download
10 http://sourceforge.net/projects/lrmi/files/lrmi/0.10/lrmi-0.10.tar.gz/download
11
12 Unpack it and apply the patch from Gentoo with:
13
14 cd lrmi-0.10
15 patch -p1 <
16 /usr/portage/sys-libs/lrmi/files/lrmi-0.10-kernel-2.6.26.patch
17
18 Simply run make. Now you can run it with: ./vbetest
19
20 You don't need to install anything. When you're done, simply delete the
21 lrmi-0.10 directory.
