... missing framebuffer support.

Hi!

When I booted our lnx-bbc distro :-) I selected options 2 or 3.

I received the following message:

"You passed an undefined mode number"

Then I pressed SPACE to continue.

After I login as root I typed 'startx' and I received the following
message:

"Can't locate module /dev/fb/0" I confirmed it doesn't exist.

I couldn't find a file like fb.o under /lib/modules so I imagine the
kernel doesn't support framebuffer through modules, is it compiled
statically?

I tried lnx-bbc at 2 somewhat old machines (Celerons 300MHz) without
luck. Is it a video card problem or a kernel choice one?

TIA for your help and all your hard work.
