Disabling the console framebuffer is a simple matter. All it takes is a boot paramater passed to the kernel.
Depending on which implimentation of framebuffer your kernel uses, you'll need to pass it either video=vga (for vesafb-tng) or vga=0x### (for vesafb-rrc, where ### is a vga mode) Look here for more details (for gentoo, but applies to any distro:) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10 -Nate On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 22:44:32 -0800, Jarod Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 14 December 2004 22:21, David Smith wrote: > > Hello All, > > > > I'm following Jarod's guide (much appreciation Jarod). > > I'm stuck trying to get ivtv-fb to load properly. > > Can't load ivtv-fb from the console.
