configuring vga16fb



Hello,

I'm trying to configure the vga16fb frame buffer device thats compiled into
the 2.4.18-bf24 kernel that comes with Woody.

Reading Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt suggests I need to do this via lilo
using the option append="video= "

However I cant find anywhere the format that the arguments to that append need
to take! I have read the docs in Documents/fb, I've read the boot-paramaters
HOWTO. 

A search of the list archives pulled up one message where someone illustrated
how his ati fb device was configured using the video= line, but no mention of
how you configure the vga16fb device.

So does anyone have any pointers or suggestions as to how to format the line
append="video= " line in order to change the resolution the vga16fb frame
buffer device uses??

Many thanks

Hamster
