LILO ! framebuffer
Installation: Debian 3.0r1, kernel 2.4.16tsc, very old video card, so no
weird nvidia drivers or anything. This is a machine I'm converting over
from Red Hat 6.2. I'll searched for "framebuffer" in the Debian User
archives for the last six months, and don't see the answer to this
question.
On boot, I'm getting the framebuffer, with the little colored Tux in the
upper lefthand corner of the screen. I don't want that, I want Linux to
talk directly to my video card. I've tried vga=ask and vga=0 in Lilo,
and neither works (vga=ask does indeed ask me, though). I thought I'd
fixed this on other machines with vga=0, but it does not work with this
one. Anyone know how to make the framebuffer and Tux go away?
