Re: Text console flicker during kernel load

I use kernel parameter "vga=normal video=vga16:off" in lilo.conf (append) or boot-prompt. Maybe "vga=normal" is enough. Tamas Szekely -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, I'd like to disable the framebuffer. Whats the easiest way to do so with a kernel recompile? Neal. - Original Message - From: "Robert Ian Smit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 5:56 AM Subject: Re: Text co

Text console flicker during kernel load

2002-10-01 Thread Neal Pollock
I've convinced my brother to try Debian and just set it up on his PC. Unfortunately, from the time that lilo passes control onto the kernel until the display manager login appears, the screen flickers on and off continuously. It stays on for about 1/3 of sec and then goes off for a 1/3 of a sec.
