 |
|
Hey, I just installed Gentoo on VMWare Workstation 8, haven't emerged X or whatever. I compiled the kernel, figured it would be fun to enable vmwgfx and the framebuffer default for vmwgfx, but that just gives me a black screen! Thankfully I can still access the VM through SSH:
This is my dmesg, after which there is no mention of anything graphical. Notice vmwgfx is only mentioned once. Am I missing something here?

| If you enable the framebuffer device, you should enable framebuffer console too. |

What do you mean? Of course I enabled Support for frame buffer devices as well as DRM driver for VMWare Virtual GPU and Enable framebuffer console under vmwgfx by default
