Frame Buffer Query

["Jijo Jose A" <jijojose@sancharnet.in>]

Hi all

Now i am trying to configure X server for the Frame Buffer Device on my S3
card.
I did successfully compiled the kernel  2.2.14 i586  with VESA FB and it's
booted in 0x318 (1024x768) graphics mode and got a penguin logo.

After that I've configured the options on XF86Configure according to the
linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt.
But when i starting the XF86_FBDev server,the Server mode data base won't
mathed with my mode ie shown by fbset
and it simply terminates with an error.

The fbset will shows
$ fbset --xfree86


---------------------
Mode "1024x768"
    # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz
    DotClock 78.654
    HTimings 1024 1056 1184 1312
    VTimings 768 772 776 792
    Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
EndMode
---------------------

The server output :

 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
 than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
 problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Configured drivers:
   FBDev: Server for frame buffer device

Also the same problem on all the modes like (600x800,..)

Anyone have experience with this.
