If you want framebuffer for SiS > 630, you have to enable SiSFB Lite in the SiS LinuxBIOS patch.
Yes, I can do that, and the framebuffer works fine. What I'm asking is whether I can boot LinuxBios *without* using the framebuffer device, and still get a display ? ie what you'd normally get on a 'standard' (non-LinuxBios) Linux machine if you didn't select framebuffer output.
