As a matter of fact I could never compile 2.4.19 or 2.5.3x with framebuffer support -- my compile always ended with an error. So I'm running my blade100 bufferless. It works and I like the sunos-like black text on white background more than the white-on-black that the framebuffer uses. Any way to tell the framebuffer to reverse fg and bg? I guess I ought to RTFM, but since I have the podium .... :-) Thanks, IvanK.
