The Xenos Framebuffer (xenosfb) is a frambuffer for the Xenos Graphics-Chip. It's based on xf86-video-fbdev for linux.

Compiling

It has following dependencies:

  • libtool
  • m4
  • automake
  • autoconf
  • pkg-config
  • xorg-dev
  • xutils-dev
  • x11-xserver-utils
  • x11proto-randr-dev
  • libxrandr-dev

Probably some of these packages contain each other.

Extract the sourcecode and make sure autogen.sh has the executable flag set. Start the compiling process by executing

./autogen.sh

After successful Compiling you will find the driver-module in *builddir*/src/.libs/xenosfb_drv.so Copy it to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ Also make sure /etc/X11/xorg.conf holds at least the following:

Section "Device"
 Identifier	"Generic Video Card"
 Driver		"xenosfb"
 Option		"UseFBDev"		"true"
EndSection
