Yes.  There are known problems with systems running with either a

a plain VGA console.

Is there a penguin in the upper left when it boots, or some other
graphic? If so your in a frame buffer. To disable requires
recompiling the kernel and removing the option.


Actually, it's even easier than that to disable:

If you're using LILO:
  1) Edit lilo.conf and remove any line that begins with vga=
  2) run /sbin/lilo -v
  3) reboot
Thank you!

For Olle-Wiki:
Also in Grub you can pass parameters to kernel:
   1) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
   2) find the command that loads kernel, e.g. something like this:
   kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317:off
splash=silent showopts
   3) change the parameter vga=... to vga=normal
   4) save and reboot

Yes. Turn it off. In a text only install you only get prettier text.

Yes.  There are known problems with systems running with either a frame
