Hi all, I am trying to connect on a MPC 885 a Epson display controller (using a AVNET Evaluation Board).=0D I already included a frame buffer driver into the Kernel (2.4) that seems to work fine. Now i want to run a small X-server (kDrive) on the board but i get in=0D troubles with the virtual consoles. When I start the X-server i get the following message. ~ # Xfbdev -screen 320x240x8 -mouse /dev/mouse Fatal server error: LinuxInit: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such device) Looking to the /dev/ shows that the device is available ~ # ls -l /dev/tty* crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 Jan 10 2007 /dev/tty crw-r----- 1 root root 4, 0 Jan 10 2007 /dev/tty0 crw-r----- 1 root root 4, 1 Jan 10 2007 /dev/tty1 crw-r----- 1 root root 4, 2 Jan 10 2007 /dev/tty2 crw-r----- 1 root root 4, 3 Jan 10 2007 /dev/tty3 crw--w--w- 1 root root 3, 0 Jan 1 01:08 /dev/ttyp0 crw-r----- 1 root root 3, 1 Jan 10 2007 /dev/ttyp1 crw-r----- 1 root root 3, 2 Jan 10 2007 /dev/ttyp2 crw-r----- 1 root root 3, 3 Jan 10 2007 /dev/ttyp3 but when I look to=0D ~ # cat /proc/tty/drivers pty_slave /dev/ttyp 3 0-255 pty:slave pty_master /dev/pty 2 0-255 pty:master serial /dev/cua 5 64 serial:callout serial /dev/ttyS 4 64 serial /dev/vc/0 /dev/vc/0 4 0 system:vtmaster /dev/console /dev/console 5 1 system:console /dev/tty /dev/tty 5 0 system:/dev/tty I miss the driver entry =0D unknown /dev/tty 4 1-63 console Does anybody know why the driver for the tty 1-63 is not registered?
