RE: Kernel Compilation Trouble

[DEFFONTAINES Vincent <Vincent.DEFFONTAINES@coe.int>]

You need other options selected:

Code Maturity Level Options -> Say YES to "Prompt for development and/or
incomplete code/drivers"

This gives you access to the following:

Console Drivers -> Frame-Buffer support -> Support for frame buffer devices
= YES
Below : SIS acceleration = YES

Plus possibly the two ones below, depending on your hardware config.

This gets your kernel config to compile on my box correctly.


(I found that with a google search that drove me to linux kernel mailing
list archive)
