Hi everybody.

I'm trying to install a video driver for a via. I compile the driver with make but when i try make install command it says "modules.dep  Read-only file system" in ramdisk there is a link to /KNOPPIX/ directory. I can't change the file because nither being root.

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

you could either:
copy the module manually, and use insmod
or
remove each of those symlinks, and replace them with copies from /KNOPPIX

Of course the first one is much easier, and safer.

Btw, there isn't there a via driver included in the XF86 package?

I've done the second one. I haven't seen the driver. It driver is for a via mini itx embbebed computer.

I install the driver now i must make it works...

After installing the driver i use it with modprobe but i lost the screen. In the readme says something about using fbset but that command doesn't exist. i've tryied to boot in xfbdev mode but it doesnt let me execute the driver because it says that there is many liks or some thing like that.

What can i do?

Could you give the specifics/details?  esp. the exact commands you used, and errors you got.
Which model is your video chipset?

Also, there is a via driver included in the XF86 package, I just checked.
I supposed you could set it by using Driver "via"
