It is. If you are using a VGA card that supports the VESA 2.0 standard, you
can compile in VESA framebuffer support and you should be able to use fbset
to setup your screen mode. Don't waste your time with SVGATextMode, the
framebuffer drivers is the way to go (or GGI, if you are so inclined).
My problem is that I have a TGA card and the TGA framebuffer driver doesn't
support multiple resolutions. I need to use a fixed frequency monitor with
my Alpha box and it can only do 1280x1024. Is someone working on this? If
not, I may be able to find the time to read the TGA programmers manual and
implement this.
