Hi Arnuld,
I think Tilman wants you to verify that "Via" support is compiled in your kernel.
i know that and i compiled the kernel with VIA support built-in. i don't know which module this i reporting. can you tell me which module it is ? -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/

Hi Arnuld, You REALLY need to start helping yourself. A few questions here and there are fine but you seem to be having issues/trouble with so much of CRUX. Google is you friend. You will learn a lot more by googling for your answers. To find out what drivers you need for your chipset google the name of your chipset and kernel and modules. For example, in the output of lspci I have "Intel Corporation 82801G", so if I google for: "Intel Corporation 82801G linux kernel option", I find links to people with similar chipsets and what kernel options they enabled. Your earlier questions about run levels would have yielded results as well. You may find searching the CRUX mailing list archives is also very helpful for things such as footprint mismatches and sourceforge downloads. Only after you have EXHAUSTED all other avenues and determined that the problem is related to CRUX should you post your question on this mailing list. In my experience (CRUX since about 2003, Linux since about 1999) you will learn a LOT more finding the answers that way and get much more support and help for the problems you come up against. I hope this helps you with your eneavours. Joe

ok , i DID try Google before posting but i did not get any useful answer for my chipset VIA K8M800. maybe my "combinations of keywords" was wrong. anyway, i had the same trouble on Gentoo so i posted the same question in Gentoo Forums and i got the answer. this is what resolved trouble, in "make menuconfig": "Device Driver -> character devices -> /dev/agpart (AGP) --> <*> Direct Rendering (XFree86 and ......) --> <*> VIA chipset now Google did not tell me that "/dev/agprt" (and into that "Direct Rendering") is essential module for X, neither the CRUX or Gentoo archives. anyway it is resolved now, partially. i error is still here. my 1st tools is always Google, then mailing list archives and then Forums and then Google groups, in that order and int he last the CRUX mailing list but seeing your reply shows that my search is not rigorous enough or my thought process needs some modification.

Joe, i have decided to post anything here at CRUX mailing only after searching the internet for 4 days. -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/

I have a good technique I use when trying to install CRUX on a machine I am not too familiar with: I first boot an Ubuntu live CD on that machine. I look over what works and what does not and take lots and lots of notes regarding the hardware and modules. (lspci -vv , lsmod, xorg.conf, etc). This will give you a good start when trying to configure a kernel or X in CRUX.
