Nvidea Riva TnT and vesafbcon

[André Borman <A.Borman@student.UTwente.NL>]

Hi there,


I read on the net that when a LFB graphics mode is used for the console, a
nice pinguing logo should be shown at startup.

I compiled VESA support etc. into my kernel and added the VGA=ask to
lilo.conf and ran lilo (like it said in
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO.html), but I can't get this
to work. I'm using kernel 2.4.4. on a pc with an Nvidea Riva TnT w/ 16 Mb
(Viper 550 compatible?), which I suspect to be VESA 2.0 compliant.

Anybody an idea of what i'm doing wrong?


Best regards,

André
