If you want to learn about commands have a look at "Linux in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly (IMHO O'Reilly is always a good choice) But there is also much documentation on the Web i.e http://www.linuxdoc.org > Also, XFree86 3.3.6, FB_Dev, and Gnome doesn't seem to work properly when I > try to run X Window.

It is generated by programs like XF86Setup. If XF86 works then gnome should work out of the box. I don't know much about Framebuffers, sorry. Phil
