Thanks for the /sys information. I guess that's what I left out. For the console problem. I have it too, but since I don't like the text only mode in console, I use My video-card (Radeon) frame buffer instead of VESA. It works nicely, although a little flicker at startup.

* Marino Fernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED] [030720 15:23]: snip 10) boot... shit, still black screen on bootup, no kernel messages nor penguin... here it comes X... OK, now keyboard and touchpad work yeah. So, if anybody can tell me how to fix the framebuffer so I can see thge little penguin and the kernel messages, I'll appreciate it. I got a blank console because I had set a specific vga mode in my /etc/lilo.conf (vga=0x0314). That mode worked well with 2.4 kernels. Once I removed it I could see the console (but no penguin) using a 2.6 kernel.

OK, now keyboard and touchpad work yeah. So, if anybody can tell me how to fix the framebuffer so I can see thge little penguin and the kernel messages, I'll appreciate it. 1. Use make-kpkg. It works with the new kernel and it lets you handle it with dpkg. 2. For the framebuffer: do you have 1 GB of RAM or more?
