Thanks John, I rectified the kernel.....but its only working in the text mode. X doesn't start properly, I mean the display is not working properly....I can only see a few streeks of X with many tiny copies of it on the top of my display. Can you tell me where might the problem be? I start linux with vga mode 788 in lilo.conf and it displays text fine....but its not running X.! The reason I'm opting for a framebuffer is because XFree86 doesnot support my video card - Silicon Motion LynxE.
