Thanks everyone.
I'll got my new kernel compiled with framebuffer support. Yes, I have

Hello
An alternative to using framebuffer to improve your fonts and console

Have a look at the package description using the command:
apt-cache show svgatextmode

Hi all,
I've recently started fixing some remaining glitches on my T20, and
couldn't quite solve them the way I planned. Here they are:
