nanogui: Thread: Can the framebuffer driver be set up for Intel 810 chipset .

Hello ,
I would like to know whether Intel 810 is VESA 2.0 compliant or whether I
can use any other framebuffer driver available  (I've got kernel 2.2.14) . I
compiled the kernel with VESA 2.0 driver but now I get a message " Cannot
open /dev/fb0 " and "device not found ".
I am somewhat new to linux op . Please advice
Maria

You can always use the VGA16 fb driver, it doesn't rely on a VESA 2.0
bios, although it's limited to 640x480 and 16 colors.
