Description Tony den Haan 2008-09-13 18:58:28 UTC
The nvidia guide mentions several kernel configure options that just don't exist any more or have been moved.



Reproducible: Always




#this one is now under Device Drivers->Graphics Support
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)

Device Drivers --->
Graphics Support --->
< >   nVidia Framebuffer Support

#This is now 
Device Drivers --->
Graphics Support --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices  --->
< >   nVidia Framebuffer Support
#the same goes for the VESA bit

#this is nowhere to be found
<*>   Userspace VESA VGA graphics support

Uh, yes it is. It's under Device Drivers - Graphics Support - Framebuffer Devices. It's uvesafb; all semi-recent kernels use it, even vanilla-sources, since it was accepted upstream some time ago. It was originally introduced in gentoo-sources.

I'll update the guide; some options have moved around.

Fixed in CVS.
