I have i815e machine with on board graphics. When I compiled kernel
2.2.17, with fb vesa along iwht other fb options i didn't get tux. With
fb-vga-16 I got tux, but not good in my 17" monitor. Though it is said
by some hardware detetion program that i815e is vesa 2.0 compilant, it
doen't work as vesa.
my lines in /var/log/messages.
