I would like to use the RADEON frame buffer, with that said I am restricting this senario to the VESA driver ONLY to try and clear up some of my confusion.. When I boot linux/grub (Redhat 9.0) with the following line: vga=792 Everything works great, I get 1024x768x16m and it uses the VESA Framebuffer (I think) and everything is great. If I try and use this line instead: video=vesa:mode:1024x768-24@60 NOTHING happens.. My understanding was that those two lines should yield the exact same result in theory. I thought they are doing the same thing but the video line does nothing so I am confused and I do not understand whats going on. Additionally, I would like to know what is the relationship between VGA= and VIDEO= Thank you for your time. Justin Ducote __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
