framebuffer

Hello,

thanks to all the messages on this list, I succeed in using the framebuffer of
the ipaq 2210.

Since I have had a lot of problems, I have made a summary (probably all is obvious)

First,I do not use module since I have had some problems and I don't kown how to
say to Haret
where is the System.map

So I have applied the Patty's patch to mq11xxbf.c

Moreover for initrd, I use the initrd-kit of Andrew.
But I have disabled the modprobe lines in the linuxrc and modified the last
instruction to
exec chroot . sh <dev/console >dev/console 2>&1

For the rootfs I use the
bootstrap-v0.7.2-h3900.tar.bz2 of familiar and mount /proc and /sys :

#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

echo "Setting up RAMFS, please wait... "
mount -n /proc
mount -n -t sysfs none /sys
mount /mnt/ramfs
tar zxpf /.ramfs.tar.gz -C /mnt/ramfs > /dev/null 2>&1

Since this rootfs is done for 2.4 kernel, I have done :
mknod /dev/fb0 c 29 0
mkdir /dev/vc
mknod /dev/vc/0 c 4 0

after that, I put on the backlight with :
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/mq11xx_fb0/power

if I write :
dmesg > /dev/vc/0
I can see on the screen the bootlog

Sincerly,

Alain
