im trying to get frame buffers to work on my laptop which has a nvidia geforce 2 go, so far i have tried following the howto at linuxdocs.org but it is horribly out of date. Thus far i have the follow options selected in the kernel
i've included frame buffer support, the vesa vga graphics console driver, advanced low level drivers, 8,16,24,32 bpp packed pixels support, vga character/attributes support, support only 8 pixels wide fonts, and i selected the following compiled in fonts vga 8x8 and vga 8x16.

when i boot into this kernel it doesnt load any graphic up and it doesnt create /dev/fb/0 .

if anyone has any advice on this please tell me for i have no idea of what to do any more

I don t know where does it come from.
