No, L4Linux can also run using VGA + PS/2, given it has access.
So how could I do this when L4FB complains it couldn't find DOpe or CON and the console pends there? Is there any problems with my configurations?
When you want to use VGA + PS/2 you need to configure L4Linux to use VGA-console and PS2 (keyboard mouse). The l4fb driver can be disabled either by not compiling it in or be specifying l4fb.disable=0 on the L4Linux kernel command line. Additionally con nor dope must be started as L4Linux will drive the keyboard/mouse and screen now.
Adding 'task modname "con" allow_cli' to the roottask command line might help. The reason is that the con does not have access to those ports.
I have tried to add 'task modname "con" allow_cli' to the roottask command line with the option " module (hd0,0)/boot/l4linux/con --vbemode=0x117", it still does not make sense. The console continues to loops and print out "ROOT: Sending ports 10f1-10f4 to task #0b". Any suggestions? Should I patch my grub and reinstall it?
Sorry, after looking a bit closer it's not so easy to use unfortunately. So using the Grub is the best option.
