I will. But I want to do some more experimenting first. I rolled up my sleeves and dug in to the kernel source code today. One thing I discovered is that the vertical refresh rate for an interlaced mode needs to be specified as the full-frame rate, not the half-frame rate. Therefore, the corrected version of the above video boot parameter is video=VGA-1:1024x768@43i I tried that and got output for the first time. But it was strange-looking output. Instead of the expected 128-column by 48-row frame buffer console I got a 128-column by 24-row console, occupying the lower half of the screen only. Weird. But at least I got output. I'm digging deeper and deeper into the source code. Maybe I'll find something. -- .''`.
