Hello all,
I've compiled the buildroot-2011.02 and Kernel 2.6.32.2 with directfb
support and installed the linux on a sd card.
Booting works, network and all the other stuff I've tested works,too.
But when i try to start a program, that uses directFB (df_andy), the
following message appears:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.4.11 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've googled around and found a patch:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg83555.html
But this patch isn't for the used kernel, I think.
I don't have a /etc/fb.modes file, or the parameters for this file.
Please, is there anybody out there, who can give me a hint!
Thanks,
Rudi
