WG: Re: status

Hi Geert,

You don't need X to run fbtest. Even better, do _not_ run it 
under X! All you need is a kernel with atafb.

I've got such a kernel. :-)

Just tell me where I can find the above mentioned ramdisk.

It's not yet available. Don't expect it before next weekend, though.

My installed Linux setup is approx. 2 years old, so as you can see I am a
very patient person. ;-)

To compile your own fbtest, all you need is a working C 
compiler, netpbm, and cvs to get the sources.

As X11 doesn't work any longer on my machine :-( and the 2.0.36 kernels are
quite old now I don't have a current working setup with the above mentioned
programs but I would like to help us much as possible (e.g. testing the
ramdisk).

Regards,

Frank
