how to enable framebuffer

I am using Inter810 driver.
I tried:
modprobe i810 vram=16 xres=1024 yres=768 bpp=32 accel=1 mtrr=1.
After that I know the module did be loaded via "lsmod" command,
while /dev/fb0 was still missing.
I even "mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0" according to a googled webpage,
but "mplayer -vo fbdev Some.avi" still say that "no such device".

Hi,

try adding "vga=0xo" to the kernel line in the /boot/grub/menu.lst!
For "o" you have to type "318" for 24 bits or "314" for 16 bits.

Nice greetings,

Richard
