Hi,
I've got an ATI Radeon 8500 and was able to get my console running at 
1280x1024 at 85Hz with the following:

title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/bzImage.2.5.72 root=/dev/hda6 video=radeonfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using 2.5.72 so the framebuffer device is 'radeonfb' but in a 2.4 series 
you might try just 'radeon' instead of 'radeonfb' since it got renamed in 
2.5. Don't know about an nvidia card, similar syntax might work, you never 
know.

Re: [gentoo-user] Open ports question

I'm also have sympatico and run a mail server. What they have done as far as I 
know is blocked all outgoing smtp unless it's going through their servers. 
What you can do to cope with this is to set your mail server to relay through 
the smtp server they assigned you, smtp1.sympatico.ca for me. 
In qmail you just add the smtp1.sympatico.ca to the 
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes file and it'll work like it should. Me and my 
friends do this and it works fine. Hope this helps.
