RE: vga=ask

["A. Scott White" <scottw@coderite.com>]

I'm posting this again in the hopes that someone may know the problem. One
person responded (and I appreciate that), but I've already tried everything
they suggested.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm really stumped. Is it possible that I've somehow
excluded support for this option from my kernel or something?

Thanks.
