Hello,
 
 Please CC me I'm not subscribed.

 If I am not asking on the correct list can someone refer me to a better place 
to ask?

 I am having trouble with vesafb. Here is an excerpt from dmesg, full dmesg 
attached.

vesafb: BUG, returned from vm86 with 0
vesafb: warning, copying modelist from somewhere in RAM!
vesafb: Getting mode info block failed (eax=0x4f00)
vesafb: vbe_init failed
vesafb: probe of vesafb0 failed with error -22

#uname -a Linux eric 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 #7 SMP Sun Jun 19 21:57:28 CDT 2005 i686 
AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

 I am triying to get fbsplash working in Gentoo and I followed the 
instructions to a T, but I get no output (as in fbsplash doesnt even try to 
load) and I think its related to this message. I am using the nvidia module, 
but its loaded WAY after this message and after fbsplash would try to 
init...so I doubt theres a conflict. I have 1 AGP GeForce 4ish and a PCI 
GeForce2 for dual monitors. Could it be related to 2 videocards?

 Any ideas about this message? Can I be of help debugging?

The latitude and longtitude of the bios writers current position, and
a ballistic missile.
