Hi all,

I'm using an ATMEL atngw100 board, with a nonstandard 128x64 LCD mounted 
on.
The intention is to attempt to get DirectFB to attach itself to a 
virtual frame buffer device, which renders the frame buffer pixels 
according to the LCD's control protocols.

I've compiled a virtual frame buffer driver, which when insmodded, 
creates /dev/fb0.
I've got DirectFB single application core installed, and have compiled 
an application to access DirectFB.

The problem comes in getting the application to run. DirectFB is looking 
for a /dev/tty0 but can't find one.
Presumably the same problem would occur with not having /dev/psaux.

The problem is, there is no keyboard, or screen devices (except for the 
PuTTY I'm using) and no mouse.
Therefore I am guessing I'd have to create dummy devices for these.

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help with these questions as I'm 
struggling a bit.

- Is there any way of bypassing the need for these i/o devices if they 
don't exist?
- If not, does anyone know how can I create them?

I have tried making a symbolic link from /dev/tty to /dev/tty0 but 
DirectFBCreate() reports a 'no such device' error.

My guess is that I've made a fundamental mistake somewhere, but it's not 
clear where.

Kind regards,
Pete
