36 +Do not turn off kernel framebuffer support as it is required for a successful
37 +boot. If you are using an NVIDIA based chipset, you should use the OpenFirmware
38 +framebuffer. If you are using an ATI based chipset, you should select the
39 +framebuffer driver based upon your chipset (Mach64, Rage128 or Radeon).

55 +If you select more than one framebuffer device, it may default to a less than

57 +to use by passing the driver to use to the kernel on boot such as
58 +<c>video=radeonfb</c>.
