Re: [Gumstix-users] Can't compile Console Display

Thank a lot Michael,
    My .config have the only different is CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=m, but I'm not
sure it would be a proper way to config it. I sound like the
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE must be set in oder to do the console display.
   But yet, it did not give me any error when I change the config to your
direction.
