I find many of the howto's on the web won't work for current Debian

what graphic card/chip do you have?
You might have to remove the corresponding framebuffer from
/etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf

I want to get fbi and links2 -g working in console.

I tried entering in console:

sudo mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0

Shouldn't be necessary. If the correct driver is loaded the device should appear
immediately.


Best regards,

But when I reboot /dev/fb0 does not exist.

I've had links2 -g working before - I've got libdirectfb-dev
libdirectfb-bin and all the files I can find with directfb to install.

I am working on Debian Stable command line only.
