Try it with: STI_CONSOLE=y (STI text console) DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS=<c> (Initial number of console screen columns) DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS=<r> (Initial number of console screen rows) Where <c> is the screen width (in pixels) divided by 8 (E.g. 1024/8=128) and <r> is the height divided by 16 (E.g. 768/16=48). (These options are under "Device Drivers" -> "Graphics support" -> "Console display driver support".) I don't know whether you actually need sticon itself, but you need to choose in order to set the columns/rows. Perhaps that's a bug. Hope that helps, -- Stuart Brady
