I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 410CDT and I compiles a 2.4.19 kernel that included the VESA and VGA16 Framebuffer support. The VESAFB doesn't load at boot (perhaps the VESA on the PC is too old), but the vga16fb loads fine. However, it loads a 640x480 box inside an 800x600 display. I can use "fbset -g 800 600 800 600 4" to make the console a full 800x600 display that is very nice. However, I can't figure out how to make this fbset change permanent. Upon reboot, it goes back to the 640x480 display. Also, I have to run the the fbset command on each tty console.
Any suggestions? thanks, jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
