changing console framebuffer modes

[John Kerr Anderson <jkanders@svsu.edu>]

Hi,

I have an IBM PC 350 w/S3 Trio 64 video chip-set running Debian 2.2 and
kernel version 2.4.0.  I have the frame buffer device activated but would
like a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz.  I read the man pages for <fbset>
and </etc/fb.modes> with no luck on how to change the refresh
rate/resolution.  I noticed in the file </etc/fb.modes> there are several
generic console modes.  How can I tell fbset to utilise the modes in
</etc/fb.modes>?
