1 Hi,
2
3 Does anyone here use uvesafb? I followed the instructions to install
4 uvesafb from this page:

6 http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/
7
8 However, it does not work. Is it required to use initrd in order to
9 use uvesafb? (because I don't use it...)
10
11 the 80x25 looks absolutely horrible and I'd love to have something
12 usable without needing to be in X. I have an nvidia geforce 9600GT
13 card using the latest nvidia-drivers, and am on amd64 if it matters.
14
15 Thanks,
16 Paul
