Subject: disabling all video
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 2004 16:53:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4113FDCB.2030307@networkstreaming.com> (raw)
Sorry if this is the wrong list to ask this.. direct me to the correct
list if so...
Question: I would like the kernel not to use any of the video hardware
on the machine. Is there any run-time kernel parameter I can pass to
disable all video? (I tried console= to direct output to the serial
port, but ttys were still using the vga hardware.) My video card is
built onto the mother board, and there is no way I see to disable it
from the BIOS.
I was hoping there was an option such as vga=disable or video=null or
something like that, but I've looked thru the docs and cannot find
anything.
Thanks,
Davy
