Looking over the framebuffer how to again (fairly dated document by now) I'm beginning to wonder if maybe my video card doesn't require a special framebuffer module. There, under section 5.6 "Got an ATI card?" they mention a particular module--atyfb. In my initrd, on the other hand, I appear to have only the generic vesafb module available. To test this, I suppose my options are: 1) recompile the kernel with built in atyfb module; 2) create a new initrd with atyfb in place of vesafb [and 2a) enter the correct command for loading that module into menu.lst]. Before going to the trouble of either of those (a big distraction considering my level of ignorance and the amount of study and experimentation I'd need to do for either), I'd just like to ask for an opinion about whether anyone thinks I might be on the right track to resolving my problem with not being able to get a 1024x768 console by trying one or other of these? Feedback, please?
