Hi Ron,

The Geode frame buffer driver is turned on the .config file SLES 10 SP1
kernel that I have and I am not sure why I cannot see anything on the
screen.

One more thing in the Config.lb file for db800, the pci device id
corresponding to this device has been turned off does that make a
difference. I thought this should be set only when VGA ROM is present
and CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA and CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN is set ?
Regards,
Phani
