Enable framebuffer in your kernel. using menuconfig, that should be under Device Drivers -> Graphics Device -> Support for Frame Buffer In the menu that it brings up, you probably want to build VGA, plus some other things. To get console in high resolution, you need to go down the list to where it says: Console display driver support and in it, select Video mode selection support and Framebuffer COnsole support which then allows you to select Select compiled-in fonts I personally choose the VGA 8x8, VGA 8x16 and Mini 4x6 After that, you need to add the following to the bootloader: something that looks like vga-794 to select the video mode. For a listing of the different video modes, see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10 Cheers, W -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Address: 45 Spelman Hall, Princeton University 08544 * * Phone: x68958 AIM: AngularJerk * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: sep.dynalias.net * ---------------------------------------------------------------- See, the secret to the Rubik's Cube: A: X->Y B: Y->Z let C = B^-1{A^-1[B(A)]} then C: X->Z Sortir en Pantoufles: up 3 days, 6:23 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
