9 Eventually got it working with vesafb-tng.
10 Had to splash_geninitramfs with all available resolutions
11 (was using 1024x768)
12 and explicitly specify color depth in kernel command line
13 (the driver uses 8bpp by default).
14
15 Still the console comes up in 800x600 despite explicit
16 resolution settings. Why?
17
18 I could get better resolution in the console with nvidiafb
19 but nvidia binary drivers I'm using in X don't work with it.
