Try the following: In the Linux config in the "console drivers" section, enable "Video mode selection", "Support for frame buffer devices", "VESA VGA graphics console", "Select compiled-in fonts", "Sparc console 12x22 font" (Linux 2.2.18). Then append at your Lilo kernel command line the following options: vga=0x317 video=vesa:redraw,mtrr,font:SUN12x22 This gives you a 85x34 Characters text console with a very nice font. For X11, I suggest you to use XFree 4.02 with the current driver by Tim Roberts (http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html). Works fine here. > I've not tried the TextSVGA package, it didn't look promising since the > Savage IX card has been supported for about 5 months ( and only works 8 > bpp with KDE 2.1 from sid ). Runs fine here with 16bpp on potato.
