I'm not using the right kernel that Jabba supplied and i think that's what is killing me.

Have you tried using the stock fremantle kernel?

I've compiled the fbcon framebuffer console drivers into kernel modules to save some time so people won't have to mess with compiling a new kernel just for framebuffer console support.

(NOTE: keep in mind that these kernel modules only work with the stock kernel - this won't work with the power-user kernel)

As root, download the kernel module tarball and unpack it in the terminal:

Code:

wget -c http://b-man.xceleo.org/files/fbcon-rx51.3.7.2010.tar.gz

tar -zxvf fbcon-rx51.3.7.2010.tar.gz

cd fbcon/

Next, copy all the modules, clean up, and resolve dependencies for modprobe:

Code:

cp -a *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/

cd ..

rm -rf fbcon/

rm -rf fbcon-rx51.3.7.2010.tar.gz

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/

depmod -a

Last, to load the fbcon framebuffer console driver, run the following (NOTE: this driver will not automatically load at startup; you must run this manually or add this to an init script or add this to /etc/rc.local if available on your system if you want this to run at startup.)

Code:

modprobe fbcon

optionally, you can check the status of your loaded fbcon driver with the following command:

Code:

dmesg | tail

have fun!
