When I boot up my home box, a Pentium III/933MHz with an i810 onboard disabled to make
way for a 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 PCI, two main problems occur if I boot my framebuffered
kernel (2.4.7-pre7):
1) It won't support anything over 640x480. I've got the buffer set up to run in
1024x768x32, and it reverts to 640x480x32.
2) Corrupted cursors: until I start XFree86, the terminal cursors are corrupted;
they're maybe 80x60 pixels and rendered as randomly black-and-white pixels.
I know that because 3dfx is now no longer extant, there's fairly little chance that
this will ever be resolved, but I currently have to boot with my non-frame-buffered
kernel, which keeps me from seeing *cute widdle Tux* at boot-up. 8-)
