 |
|
Hi,
I have just installed Gentoo with ZFS and started to playing around, so consider me a noob 
I was testing setting up a boot splash, so i wanted to enable the "userspace VESA VGA support" option in menuconfig, however i do not have that option.
Kernel is 3.5.7 and i was using https://github.com/ryao/zfs-overlay/blob/master/zfs-install when i set it all up.
grep -i uvesa /usr/src/linux/.conf also not showing anything.
any clues?
Best regards
Kim

kim997,
Welcome to Gentoo.
The menuconfig search (press /) shows | Code: | Symbol: FB_UVESA [=n] │
│ Type : tristate │
│ Prompt: Userspace VESA VGA graphics support │
│ Defined at drivers/video/Kconfig:737 │
│ Depends on: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB [=y] && CONNECTOR [=y] │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Graphics support │
│ -> Support for frame buffer devices (FB [=y]) │
│ Selects: FB_CFB_FILLRECT [=y] && FB_CFB_COPYAREA [=y] && FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT [=y] && FB_MODE_HELPERS [=y] |
So its still there in 3.6.2 gentoo-sources.
Notice the Depends on: line. You probably have one of those options off, so its hidden in menuconfig for you.
