RE: error while inserting stgfb module

Yes! All device entries are treated as a file in Linux.

 

Send me your .config file.

I boot STLinux kernell using NFS.
Has the root filesystem an influence on the framebuffer module?

Hi,

 

What is your filesystem type JFFS, NFS or ?

Ramesh

	BTW, this error comes because you don't have /dev/fbv device.  

 

I try to identify the framebuffer node and I found the fbX devices in
/dev/ : 

#ls -l /dev/
(...)
crwxrwxrwx  1 root root  29,   0 Apr  5  2008 fb0

crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   1 Apr  5  2008 fb1
crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   2 Apr  5  2008 fb2
crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   3 Apr  5  2008 fb3
crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   4 Apr  5  2008 fb4
crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   5 Apr  5  2008 fb5
crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   6 Apr  5  2008 fb6
crw-r-----  1 root root  29,   7 Apr  5  2008 fb7
(...)

then I try to cat all these devices and the result is the same as the
following 
# cat /dev/fb0
cat: /dev/fb0: No such device

# cat /dev/fb1
cat: /dev/fb1: No such device
..............


# cat /dev/fb7
cat: /dev/fb7: No such device


I also tried to use fbset :

# fbset -s
fbset: /dev/fb0: No such device

I don't know if I must recreate  them ? and if this is what caused
"insmod stmfb_stb7100.ko " to crash?
