Fwd: error while inserting stgfb module

[Tiago M. <tia...@gm...>]

> Hi every body!

For this I did like the official web site of STLinux indicates for me (http://www.stlinux.com/docs/release-note-2.0ear/framebuffer.php). First I activates the kernel framebuffer options, rebuild it and then I built the framebuffer module and install them.

Hi,

If you post your doubt on ST Bugzilla database on
https://bugzilla.stlinux.com/ you can get better support and search
for similar problems.

BTW, this error comes because you don't have /dev/fbv device.  I never
used 2.0 version of STLinux, but if version 2.2 I need to insert
another module called stmcore-display-stxXXXX.ko.  I suggest you
update do a newer version and try these new modules.
