The vga= setting has been deprecated for some time. Use video=1024x768 or similar resolution. I'm not sure why you don't have /dev/fb0, my 3.11.4 kernel has it: $ grep FB /boot/config-3.11.4-1|grep -v ^# CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_FILLRECT=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_COPYAREA=y CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
