I tried kernel recompile etc. etc. But tux did not come on startup.

I entered the modelines as well as the Hor. & Vert. Refresh rates of my
Monitor in /etc/vga/libvga.config and enabled the line

chipset VESA

After doing this I get the following :

Here it shows that my bios is VESA 2.0 compliant. :-)

But if I try to run mplayer -vo svga without enabling vesa chipset in
/etc/vga I get the following error :

Check out the above two errors ??

>From SVGAlib docs :

-------- <SNIP>  ---------------------------

The error:
Int 0x10 is not in rom (xxxx:xxxx)
is usually caused by running linux using loadlin, after loading a dos tsr
that changes the int 10 vector, or after windows 95, that does the same
thing. The solution, is either to use lilo, or run loadlin after a clean
dos boot.

-------- <SNIP>  ---------------------------

I am booting using GRUB. Even tried booting through LILO, but I am still
getting the above error.

I don't understand what is the problem ?

Warm Regards
