I haven't tried passing "vga=<something>" to the kernel yet.  I know how
to do that with Lilo, but not sure with Grub.  If I go under edit for
this line in Grub any idea what I'd need to append to the line?

Subject: Re: (clug-talk) Linux Kernel 2.6 (Test 9)

My server at home has been running the 2.6 Test kernels since they
started
releasing them.  So far, I'm quite impressed.  It's a Pentium II 400
with
half a gig of RAM and it takes a lot less time to compile the 2.6 test
kernels then it did to compile 2.4.x.  I also like how they reorganized
the menuconfig options, I haven't played around with the QT config stuff
yet since I don't have X or any of the QT libraries installed on my
server.  I'll probably try it out this week sometime though on my
desktop.
 I haven't had any problems with what you are experiencing but I would
guess it would be something with the framebuffer stuff too.  Have you
tried passing vga=<something> to the kernel?  Good luck.

Cheers,

Trevor
