Silly question. Is it actually possible to run a fb program like fbtest if your console is the VGA console? I tried it but the fb driver doesn't seem to switch modes.No, you cannot. You need an active frame buffer device driver.
I have the low level radeon fb driver in the kernel and it initializes like usual, but I turned off the frame buffer console option. I was wondering if the frame buffer programs can run like this. If not then I won't have to worry about that kind of configuration when working on fb programs.
