Title: Uvesafb module not found
Post by: nekosilvertail on 2012/08/24, 15:53:59

Hey there!

I'm trying to set up a framebuffer with a 16:9 resolution. From what I've seen I have to use the uvesafb-kernel-module to archieve this.

But when I try to add it to my kernel, I get these lines:

Code: [Select]


root@nachtara /home/nekosilvertail # modprobe uvesafb
FATAL: Module uvesafb not found.


Do I have to recompile my kernel with the uvesafb support?

thx, regards,
nekosilvertail

Sorry for the late reply, been out of town

Code: [Select]

apt-cache policy v86d
v86d is needed by the uvesafb kernel module

Don't forget to rebuild your initrd to make sure it contains all the changes you made

Code: [Select]

update-initramfs -k all -u
