Hi Vladimir,
What kind of computer do you have? A pc?
The framebuffer code was developed (AFAIK) mainly for PowerPC and Sun
arch's, and it's only recently that the work has started to harmonize
console/graphics interfaces across the different arch's that linux run's
on, so the intel linux port is a bit behind. The ATi framebuffer isn't
supported on the intel 32 arch yet.
linux isn't just for pc's you know... i have it running on three
different platforms at work, PowerPC, Alpha and intel.
One of the least hyped features of linux is how it makes it possible to
standardize on one OS across the majority of platforms in mainstream use:
"Tired of having to support a multitude of different OS's? But getting rid
of your non-pc platforms isn't an option?
You need Linux, the only OS to support DEC Alpha, PowerPC, Sun UltraSparc
in addition to the mainstream intel PC! Now one linux specialist can do
what previously needed one MacOS, one Windows *and* one UNIX specialist!!
That's a saving of 66%!!
Can you afford *not* to use linux?"
:)
