If this is the same thing as Corel uses, then it (most likely) does not - unless Corel hacked the fb drivers. I once tested Corel on a machine with a S3 Trio64V+ card; this card is VESA 1.3 compliant and thus not supported by fb (which requires 2.0 for vesafb, or an explicit driver for your card). The Corel splash screen was there though. > From what I understand you can't use framebuffer support if you use > things like the nvida drivers. Says who? From dmesg: vesafb: framebuffer at 0xf0000000, mapped to 0xd4800000, size 16320k vesafb: mode is 1024x768x8, linelength=1024, pages=20 vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:02e9 vesafb: scrolling: redraw Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device From /var/log/XFree86.0.log: (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" No problems at all here...
