Hi Agi,
Well, there is. You can setup a late version of the Linux kernel
(anything newer than 2.1.119 should do) with vesafb and use the
XF86_FBDev server with it. Anthony D'Amico has a nice introduction how
to do this at http://www.uno.edu/~adamico/banshee/,
where he describes how to get the Banshee to work. Note that the section there
about installing the XF68_FBDev X server can be omitted. Instead use the
XF86_FBDev that is provided as part of XFree86 3.3.3.1. This works in a
very similar way for other VBE-2.0 compliant cards as well.
Hope this helps - it worked like a charm for me... as I am running KDE @
800x600x32bpp with no problems.
Take care,
Paul
