I can't seem to find this kernel option: "<*> Userspace VESA VGA graphics support"
Did it change to a different name? |

I still see it here. Perhaps you could tell us what kernel version you are using and why you want to enable this feature? |

The config option is named CONFIG_FB_UVESA, you can press / in menuconfig to search for it.
The search results will also list the dependencies which must be enabled first before this option shows up in menuconfig. |

I'm having the same issue. A search indicates it depends on HAS_IOMEM, FB, and CONNECTOR. I've found fb and connector, when doing a search for has_iomem doesn't have a location listed. Does anybody know where has_iomem is? |

Twenynge,
Its an arch dependant setting. You either have it or not.
What arch are you on?
On a PC you may be able to influence in with a BIOS setting. _________________ Regards,
