To enable VESAFB on boot you have to put vga=X in your lilo.conf. EG "vga=791" for 1024x768x16bpp or "vga=788" for 800x600x16bpp. This is documented in linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
