Re: kppp problem
Changed perms on ttyS1, /dev/modem and /dev/ppp to 777. Didn't help. Do you use RH? On Monday 23 September 2002 07:11 am, you wrote: Check your perms on the serial port you are using.

Bob Raymond - From Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt (in the kernel src dir): How to use it? == Switching modes is done using the vga=... boot parameter. Read Documentation/svga.txt for details. You should compile in both vgacon (for text mode) and vesafb (for graphics mode). Which of them takes over the console depends on whenever the specified mode is text or graphics. The graphic modes are NOT in the list which you get if you boot with vga=ask and hit return. The mode you wish to use is derived from the VESA mode number. Here are those VESA mode numbers: | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 - +- 256 | 0x1010x1030x1050x107 32k | 0x1100x1130x1160x119 64k | 0x1110x1140x1170x11A 16M | 0x1120x1150x1180x11B The video mode number of the Linux kernel is the VESA mode number plus 0x200. Linux_kernel_mode_number = VESA_mode_number + 0x200 So the table for the Kernel mode numbers are: | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 - +- 256 | 0x3010x3030x3050x307 32k | 0x3100x3130x3160x319 64k | 0x3110x3140x3170x31A 16M | 0x3120x3150x3180x31B To enable one of those modes you have to specify vga=ask in the lilo.conf file and rerun LILO. Then you can type in the desired mode at the vga=ask prompt. For example if you like to use 1024x768x256 colors you have to say 305 at this prompt. If this does not work, this might be because your BIOS does not support linear framebuffers or because it does not support this mode at all. Even if your board does, it might be the BIOS which does not. VESA BIOS Extensions v2.0 are required, 1.2 is NOT sufficient. You will get a bad mode number message if something goes wrong. 1. Note: LILO cannot handle hex, for booting directly with vga=mode-number you have to transform the numbers to decimal. 2. Note: Some newer versions of LILO appear to work with those hex values, if you set the 0x in front of the numbers. Just convert those hex numbers to decimal and you'll find where that 792/794 came from ;) Bye!
