Should be a permanent thing then :)
That will require frame buffer support compiled into the kernel, and will give you the best quality if you have it. Another options is to try vga=ask and play around with the text modes. There is more chance that that is compiled in. Will give lower quality but its better then nothing. > -- > Cheers, > rinmak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
