just to report in: this offers no improvement. To be honest I'm kind of
surprised... Anyway, with vesafb compiled into my kernel, and other
framebuffer modules left out, I get an error "/dev/fb: no such
device". Is vesafb supposed to attach to an fb0 device all by its
lonesome? Kaspar and others: what does fbset -i tell you? I think I
must be doing something wrong...
Just in case it might be of diagnostic utility, I've posted my .config
file to:
http://pc09.hist.utoronto.ca/stuff/.config
I dunno, maybe someone can see what I've screwed up. thanks for your
help!
