4. Modify s1d13704.h
5. Configure the video options.
6. Compile and install the kernel
If your kernel version is not 2.2.17 or you want to retain greater control of the build
process then use a text editor and cut and paste the sections dealing with the Epson
driver in the corresponding files of the same names.
The file s1d13704.h contains the register values required to set the screen resolution,
color depth (bpp), display type, display rotation, etc.
Before building the console driver, refer to the descriptions in the file s1d13704.h for
the default settings of the console driver. If the default does not match the configura-
tion you are building for then s1d13704.h will have to be regenerated with the correct
information.
Use the program 13704CFG to generate the required header file. For information on
how to use 13704CFG, refer to the 13704CFG Configuration Program User Manual,
document number X26A-B-001-xx, available at www.erd.epson.com
After selecting the desired configuration, choose “File->Export” and select the “C
Header File for S1D13704 Generic Drivers” option. Save the new configuration as
s1d13704.h in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/video, replacing the original configuration
file.
From the command prompt in the directory /usr/src/linux run the command:
This command will start a text based interface which allows the selection of build time
parameters. From the text interface under “Console drivers” options, select:
Once you have configured the kernel options, save and exit the configuration utility.
Build the kernel with the following sequence of commands:
make menuconfig
* where x is the color depth being compile for.
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
/sbin/lilo (if running lilo)
