I have the last Gentoo on an intel mac mini with 945G graphics. I'm trying to start X (with no config) but it complains that /dev/fb0 doesn't exist. I've tried adding the following options to the kernel boot params:
video=intelfb:mode=800x600-32@60,accel,hwcursor vga=761
Because I read that the fb might not be enabled unless you set a vga= option. Unfortunately the kernel doesn't recognise that option. If I changed it to vga=ask it presents me a list of about 6 text modes no greater than 80x60.
In the kernel I have agpgart, drm (using i830 module) and vga text console compiled in.
What am I not doing right ?
