open /dev/fb0: No such device

I found a solution in Ubuntu's FrameBuffer wiki entry. I had to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and add vga=ask
to choose the right resolution on boot.
Now everything works fine.

I installed fbi framebuffer to view images on TTY terminals (outside X).
When I do:
fbi image.jpg
it outputs the following error:
open /dev/fb0 no such device
Yet when I run
ls /dev/fb*
, I can see that I have a directory/dev/fb
and a character device/dev/fb0

Jose_X over 9 yearsThanks. That's how I ended getting Puppy Linux (slacko) to use its main terminal (ctrl alt F1 or exit jwm to command line) to have /dev/fb0 work. I am writing an X program that I wanted to also run outside X and was wondering if puppy had everything or was missing libraries, etc (BTW, I did have to install their -dev package to use gcc tools). Thanks again.
