Hi,

I'm trying to start Xorg on a PV Fedora8 guest running 2.6.21.7 fedora stock
xen kernel, however, it seems that there's no xenfb.ko driver included in
the .rpm package.

The only included drivers I see in /lib/modules are:

emre at xenroot:/lib/modules/2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen/kernel/drivers/xen$ ls
blkback  blkfront  blktap  netback  netfront  pciback

however, if I look at the source rpm:

emre at xenroot:/d/xen/fedora8/xen-3.1.3/linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen$ ls
balloon   blktap   core     gntdev    netback   pcifront  util.c
blkback   char     evtchn   Kconfig   netfront  privcmd   xenbus
blkfront  console  fbfront  Makefile  pciback   tpmback   xenoprof

I can clearly see the fbfront directory, with "xenfb.c  xenkbd.c" files
inside.

Is there a specific reason why these drivers are excluded from the default
build?

Thanks a lot for your comments.

Emre
