graphical console problem
Hi,
I am running Debian on my laptop and after an upgrade, it tries to enter
in "graphical console mode".
On boot I get:
sisfb: Using MMIO qeue mode
the screen goes blank and it enters in graphic mode (with the penguin on
the screen), but it's all fuzzy. I can't use the text consoles
(Ctrl+Alt+F1, etc.) either. It works, but I can't see anything on the
screen.
Here is what comes after the above line in dmesg:
.............

............
I tried "vga=ask" in lilo.conf and all the possibilitied from the list,
taking off the line "vga=.." from it, but nothing works.
How can I fix it or just go back to plain text console?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Best to all,
Luis
