I have the following append line in my lilo.conf: append = "video=tdfx:1280x1024-8@76" This setting works fine for the 2.4.[0-3] kernels. When I boot the box, the little penguin on the top left side is unrecognizable. When I exit X, the console is just black with a blinking cursor. I can type commands "blind" but nothing appears on the screen. The system seems to work normal because the commands are executed, the only problem is that the screen is black. Using fbset or resetting the console doesn't help. fbtv (from the xawtv-package) works fine, also on the "black and blinking" console. My card is a 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI (16MB). gcc 2.95.2 make 2.79.1 binutils 2.9.5.0.24 util-linux 2.10q modutils 2.4.5 e2fsprogs 1.19 PPP 2.4.0 Let me know, if I can provide more information. Perhaps I have a configuration failure? (I'm not a linux guru and a good programmer) Thanks a lot, Steff
