RHL 5.8.1 (Beta 1) I was unable to compile fb devices with kernel-source-2.2.1-2; I still am unable with kernel-source-2.2.1-4 here's the last part from the compile before the compile stopped: fbcon.c:1576: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type fbcon.c:1578: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type fbcon.c: In function `fbcon_scrolldelta': fbcon.c:1615: `__SCROLL_YMASK' undeclared (first use in this function) fbcon.c:1616: `__SCROLL_YWRAP' undeclared (first use in this function) fbcon.c:1619: `__SCROLL_YPAN' undeclared (first use in this function) fbcon.c:1620: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type fbcon.c:1617: warning: unreachable code at beginning of switch statement fbcon.c: At top level: fbcon.c:1955: variable `fbcon_dummy' has initializer but incomplete type fbcon.c:1956: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' fbcon.c:1957: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' fbcon.c:1958: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' fbcon.c:1959: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' fbcon.c:1960: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' fbcon.c:1961: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' fbcon.c:1962: warning: excess elements in struct initializer after `fbcon_dummy' make[3]: *** [fbcon.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.1/drivers/video' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.1/drivers/video' make[1]: *** [_subdir_video] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.1/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 The compile works without fb devices selected
