Aurora mini FAQ
http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php3?sid=20001108042008
you'll prob'ly also need these numbers:
set vga=xxx to one of the following
Colours 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
--------+---------------------------------------------
256 | 769 771 773 775 796
32,768 | 784 787 790 793 797
65,536 | 785 788 791 794 798
16.8M | 786 789 792 795 799
EG, on my 17" 'vga= ' was set to 788 which makes Aurora run in a
800x600 Frame Buffer at 65k colors. Install auto picked this setting
for me, it looks fine. Lilo.conf looks like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb6
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" hdd=ide-scsi"
vga=788
read-only
Plan B: if you don't wanna fool with the FAQ's method, simply boot
your 7.2 install CD, choose 'Recommended' and 'Rescue' (upgrade), leave
your existing partitions alone, unselect all the packages, and run thru
the 'upgrade' in a matter of minutes. When you reboot, if LM install
determined that your video card will support frame buffer, you should
have Aurora working. Works for me, YMMV.
