Re: *** Pango not found. Pango built with Cairo support is required

["Raymond Pau" <raymond_pau innomedia com sg>]

Ok. The problem was compiling Cairo with "--disabled-shared" option.
I removed that, re-configure and rebuild cairo followed by pango and it
works!

But this means that pango cannot support static linking?

With that hurdle behind me, the next problem is getting /dev/fb0 to actually
work.
I had re-compiled the kernel with framebuffer support but fbset -i complains
that:

# fbset -i
open /dev/fb0: No such device

I did find instruction to append parameters to the kernel but those are for
lilo;
Most distribution now use grub.
Any idea how to get grub to add the kernel parameters?

I tried:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-37.0.1.EL-fb ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi VGA=ask

but that did not prompt me to select a mode.
