Since I cannot see any obvious correlation between this "791" and the
parameters given above (which I didn't know one could do, having just read
everything on LILO I could get my hands on, 12 hours ago), could you please
elaborate on the formula used to come up with such special fb statements to
append= -- my laptop, likewise, is capable of hi-res (same as his,
1024x768, but I don't know my video memory spec).
Or point me towards some Fine Documentation.
TIA
