Okay, the arguement that needs to be passed to the kernel is
video=XXXXXX:<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<hz>]
where XXXXXX is the name of your fb driver (tdfx if it's a Voodoo), and
stuff in brackets is optional. So with LILO, you would need a line like
append="video=tdfx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I use grub, so I just specify that argument (without the append) to the
kernel command line.
Cheers,
Viktor
