I'll try that when I'm back home from work.
In the meantime I've disabled thre fb support in the kernel and that
seems to do the trick. Now I'm just missing the high resolution
in the console. It really helps when you are doing some kernel
programming/debugging.
Maybe with your suggestion I'll be able to get the best of both
worlds. We'll see tonight.
Thanks !
Mike
