AFAIK with a kernel with VESA (lfb) support you can just switch to a preset resolution at boot time and NEVER again. > In the console i get a standard no VESA driver available, and in X running with >xdosemu it works fine. Yes. In X, VESA is provided by DOSEMU itself, and then works using *emulated* registers. In the console, VESA is provided by the card's video BIOS, using *real* registers. This is why xdosemu works for everyone in the same way but the console stuff is hardware dependent.
