I spent the day recovering from a Gentoo upgrade, and thought I'd document
the experience in case it helps someone else.
I'm running a custom kernel 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 on amd64, though I don't think
the rarer hardware is relevant.
I tend to put off upgrading my Gentoo box because anytime I do,
kernel ... video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap vga=795
That gives me 1280x1024. I don't know at what refreshrate though...
those options, what do they do? are they also valid for vesafb?
