Re: [Xen-users] HVM: Could not initialize SDL - exiting

[oz <oz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I gave up trying to use SDL and switched to VNC. Probably my system or 
graphic-controller (Intel 945GM) has no framebuffer support, which is 
needed by SDL. I come to this, because the output of  "cat /proc/fb" is 
empty, although the kernel parameters for FB should be ok. It might have 
something to do with this line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
...
(WW) I810(0): Option "UseFBDev" is not used
...

Mmmh, but shouldn't it be used according to xorg.conf?
...
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "i810"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection
...

Maybe someone can comment on this.

Thanks,
Oliver
