So how would one turn them on and off if optional? This is was what I was referring to when I mentioned no penguins: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=60126 I guess I should have clarified that to when KMS was turned on, not when framebuffer was being used. > KMS is nothing to do with the bootloader, nor with the commandline > arguments - unless I'm missing something ? If you search KMS and grub2, there are articles on how to disable KMS from grub2. I've experimented with some of the grub2 settings and was able to disable and enable. Here's one example that mentions it: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/how-do-i-disable-kms-with-grub2-922290/ -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
