---- Readme.txt for Linux release ---- The SMI Linux frame buffer device driver is based on the ITE8152 StrongARM platform and Linux kernel-2.4.5 to delelop. It has been tested successfully. Configuration: The kernel should be configured in order to link SMI frame buffer device driver. The following is the commands. * Put smifb.c and smifb.h file under the linux/drivers/video directory. * In the linux/drivers/video directory, modify fbmem.c file. Add extern int smifb_init(void); before the fb_drivers structure declared. Add #ifdef CONFIG_FB_SMI { "smifb", smifb_init, NULL }, #endif in the fb_drivers structure. * Modify "Makefile" file in the same directory. Add obj-$(CONFIG_FB_SMI) += smifb.o in the region which declares drivers. * Modify "Config.in" fine in the same directory. Add bool ' SiliconMotion Lynx support' CONFIG_FB_SMI in the region between if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then if [ "$CONFIG_PCI" != "n" ]; then ... ... ... tristate ' ATI Mach64 display support (EXPERIMENTAL)' CONFIG_FB_ATY tristate ' ATI Rage 128 display support (EXPERIMENTAL)' CONFIG_FB_ATY128 tristate ' 3Dfx Banshee/Voodoo3 display support (EXPERIMENTAL)' CONFIG_FB_3DFX tristate ' SIS 630/540 display support (EXPERIMENTAL)' CONFIG_FB_SIS bool ' SiliconMotion Lynx Support' CONFIG_FB_SMI fi fi * Configure the kernel using the make xconfig command: make xconfig go into "Character devices" turn on "Virtual Terminal" and "Support for console on virtual terminal" go into "Console drivers" turn on "Support Frame buffer devices" then clik "Frame buffer support" button turn on "Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL)" "SiliconMotion Lynx Support" "Advanced low level driver options" "16 bpp packed pixel support" "support only 8 pixels wide fonts" "Select compiled-in fonts" "VGA 8x8 font" * Build the kernel. make zImage * Finally, you will have a virtual terminal console on your CRT monitor.Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
