Title: Can't open /dev/fb0: No such device
Post by: like2link on November 26, 2018, 10:12:21 AM

I can't seem to be able to access the framebuffer on my Lenovo x300. I'd like to run links -g in console mode.

Any tips on how to fix this?

May be /dev/fb0?

Yes, fb0. It was just a typo in the title. Doesn't change that it doesn't work.

Do You need console without X?

To have FB, you either need to set a video mode boot code (see the FAQ), or load the graphics- extension. The latter should use your laptop's native resolution.
