Re: cirrusfb not working?

[mike <localgost@gmail.com>]

Try cirrusfb:640x480 or something


Default video modes
-------------------
At the moment, there are two kernel command line arguments supported:

mode:640x480
mode:800x600
	or
mode:1024x768

Full support for startup video modes (modedb) will be integrated soon.
