Re: [Fedora-xen] no xenfb module in 2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen ?

[Emre Erenoglu]

Hi Mark,

Thanks again very much for the explanation. OK, one last question and I'll
stop bugging, would you have an idea why X refuse to launch? on this frame
buffer?

I'm pasting the Xorg.0.log, it seems that the driver (FBDEV) cannot change
resolution or something like this. I have the login promt in the this VNC
(or SDL) window, so I guess the xenfb driver is working properly.

Is it possible that X can't use the console that I'm currently logged on?
(ttyX ?)
