s/you have to add a vga- or video-statement to your bootloader |

s/For the video-statement, a simplified syntax is used. Most of the time |
| 23 |
it's sufficient to use video=vesafb./If you are using a 2.6 kernel and |
| 24 |
chose to use vesafb-tng, then you will use a video-statement instead. |
| 25 |
The video statement is defined by WxH-D <at> Hz, or 1024x768-16 <at> 60./ |

Perhaps another table could be added for this, I'm not sure. That's |
| 28 |
totally up to you guys. It should be noted that the vesafb-tng stuff is |
| 29 |
only in the gentoo-dev-sources kernel and only in kernel >=2.6.8 at |
| 30 |
that. |
