I have amifb only and without abscon the kernel crashes if there are no frame buffer devices found. --- snapshot-200997/drivers/char/fbmem.c.orig Sat Sep 20 14:10:09 1997 +++ snapshot-200997/drivers/char/fbmem.c Wed Sep 24 19:56:43 1997 @@ -541,13 +541,17 @@ j = strlen(fb_drivers[i].name); if (!strncmp(options, fb_drivers[i].name, j) && options[j] == ':') { - if (fb_drivers[i].init) { - pref_init_funcs[num_pref_init_funcs++] = - fb_drivers[i].init; + if (!strcmp(options+j+1, "off")) fb_drivers[i].init = NULL; + else { + if (fb_drivers[i].init) { + pref_init_funcs[num_pref_init_funcs++] = + fb_drivers[i].init; + fb_drivers[i].init = NULL; + } + if (fb_drivers[i].setup) + fb_drivers[i].setup(options+j+1, ints); } - if (fb_drivers[i].setup) - fb_drivers[i].setup(options+j+1, ints); return; } } Greetings, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven Geert.Uytterhoeven@cs.kuleuven.ac.be Wavelets, Linux/{m68k~Amiga,PPC~CHRP} http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~geert/ Department of Computer Science -- Katholieke Universiteit Leuven -- Belgium
