+ | ===Framebuffer=== | ||
+ | First of all we must make sure we have framebuffer support. My box is running with an nVidia GF4 MX card, so I'll be using the nVidia framebuffer driver alongside the VESA one. | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Device Drivers | ||
+ | | ||
+ | <*> Support for frame buffer devices | ||
+ | --- Frame buffer hardware drivers | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | [*] VESA VGA graphics support | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | [*] | ||
+ | [*] Lots of debug output | ||
+ | [*] | ||
+ | < > | ||
+ | Console display driver support | ||
+ | --- VGA text console | ||
+ | [*] | ||
+ | (1024) | ||
+ | --- Video mode selection support | ||
+ | <*> Framebuffer Console support | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | More info on the Framebuffer subject can be found at http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===RAM disk=== | ||
+ | Furthermore I'll be using a graphical boot splash screen, so I'll need RAM disk support (initrd) for gensplash to work properly. | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | General setup ---> | ||
+ | [*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/ | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | Device Drivers | ||
+ | [*] Block devices | ||
+ | --- Block devices | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | (16) Default number of RAM disks | ||
+ | (4096) | ||
+ | (1024) | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | The rest of the system will be using ALSA for the sound card (with oss simulation), | ||

+ | ====irexec==== | ||
+ | To be able to use the ir when not in mplayer, use and start the irexec service (comes with the lirc package). This is a dummy host that can be use to trigger events just like any other app.\\ | ||
