: I'm trying to run microwindows on /dev/fb0. My machine has a S3Trio card.
: S3triofb.c fails to compile (missing some asm/ header files and other
: errors) when rebuilding the kernel. I am able to build the kernel using the
: vga16fb device, but need to run with 1024x768 and 16 bpp. Does anyone have
: experience with the S3 framebuffer or am I missing something?

The framebuffer stuff in Linux is a pain in the @$$.  Microwindows should
run on the vga16fb device autodetected.  I've got an ATI card and I still can't
get it to run in anything more than 640x480.  Perhaps the kernel mailing list
would help for the compile errors.
