LibGGI on Frame Buffer (Permedia 2)

Problem: LibGGI demos don't run correctly on my FB, runs fine in X.
(running /libggi/programs/demos/demo)

In X, the demo runs properly, ie: I see boxes, text, and
lines. In the FB, the screen is blank, and I see some graphics
action in the first row of pixels across the top of
the screen. There is nothing in the rest of the screen.


I know that the Permedia 2 won't run as a VesaFB, something
to do with not having a Linear frame buffer.



does LibGGI need a liner fb (VesaFB) ?



Im using the latest (Beta) version of the FB code for the
Permedia 2, in the Linux Kernel version 2.2.1



Mike
