I don't think that parameter affects the framebuffer, though. That is a a VGA mode setting, and you can have a VGA text console without enabling a framebuffer. Framebuffer parameters look something like "video=tdfx:1024x768". See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt in your kernel source tree. Docs for what you're describing are in Documentation/svga.txt, and that exists independently the framebuffer support in the kernel. I suppose I could be wrong, as I've only recently started playing with the framebuffer, but I know that you could pass 'vga=xyz' options to the kernel long before framebuffer support existed. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | A subversive is anyone who can out-argue their government | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
