this is what i do with my toshiba laptop (vga=0x303 - i only wanted
8bit). works fine, until you want to scroll while playing mp3's.
is there a way to do this without doing the whole framebuffer/graphics
mode thing?
reading the docs from svgatextmode, i think i should be able to run in
a "normal" text mode at 800x600, which is exactly what i want.
the problem is: i can't work out what mode line whackiness i need to
get svgatextmode to work on an lcd screen, since [vh]sync doesn't
really mean much.
does anyone actually understand the whole crt/lcd sync thing?
is it just a matter of svgatextmode not duplicating whatever hacks X
uses to work around this?
