Then, grub would use vesa in order to initialize graphics - which should ha= ve seen testing for... forever... years. We could use "set gfxmode=3D..." in grub in order to set a specific graphic= s mode. (The Linux kernel module is called uvesafb--but it should be picked up auto= matically) (Use "vbeinfo" in the grub prompt in order to find out whether it's using V= ESA) I don't think it's wise to complicate bootup when we could just use vesa. = There's nothing wrong with it as far as I know... --Sig_/XkkPnNVkz6RvLs5lB8g8WA4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAlyjjmwACgkQ5xo1VCww uqXBaAf+LmSFl5uXgVrmO3cMlyxmxzk3PgAJbB5Rcf/4/bVhmhaumCcBEfGzbcz2 CdCE483SIOy4IzQrzVEYgWMIs/SBjCT6XQkD3cFVT5EJqVWmB8+tjHmec4k2mtIm UMphdXngU7qJ3YUYvTeepTyGPWOKIpcA66iPmnT7fi6xhpnW0e872atCoi0NICpk 3k7D/6BmlwC48A+Upn1DGc+OVYVRbGIyXkxFl+6LPbX651d37ckELCfXgyJF7zvj jAz8KbimA6YOe+GL8hPrgnAXiPB3t7077mac8aqgNaTRPU9Z4X3TjVGYl7IZrEib fy5BwhpBmivN8wzLxQ5oRvaUDWcudA== =RPYd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/XkkPnNVkz6RvLs5lB8g8WA4--
