Thus spake BURLET Frederic (fburlet@info.fundp.ac.be): > To use framebuffer on console, you have to recompile your kernel with > experimental stuffs (activate-> Code maturity level options -> Prompt > for experimental stuffs). Then in the Console Driver section you have > to activate some options (explanations in the HOWTO). One thing that tripped me up for a while is that you have to compile all of the framebuffer stuff into the kernel as opposed to modules, since it is needed early in the boot process. > You have also to configure Lilo by initialising the 'vga' variable. I believe that I'm correct in stating that 'vga' corresponds to various text modes, and 'video' corresponds to framebuffer modes. -- Justin R.
