Re: Graphic boot...
That comes with framebuffer support, which you select under "Console
drivers". It's experimental, so you have to select "Code maturity level
options" - "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" right
at the beginning of the configure options.
Then, in the "Console drivers" section:
Video mode selection support Y
In the sub section "Frame-buffer support":
Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) Y
I also select VESA VGA graphics console. I don't know if that covers
all chipsets, or if you need to select your own particular chipset as
well. My chipset's not listed separately, so that's all I choose.
Then, you get to set your resolution option in lilo.conf or grub like
this:
vga=791 (791 is the number for 1024x768 resolution).
There's a table somewhere showing the numbers that go with different
resolutions.
The penguin is free if you get the rest going. There's a Debian add-on
that turns it into a swirl if you like.
HTH,
