I couldn't disable CONFIG_FB in the kernel, only select "module" or |
| 13 |
"built-in" mode. I guess there is another parameter which needs |
| 14 |
disabling. Researching that, I discovered you can disable frame-buffer |
| 15 |
on the kernel command line. Also, that there might be an option in the |
| 16 |
BIOS to set but I checked that and found nothing. So I rebooted and |
| 17 |
used Grub to edit the kernel parameters and set "VGA=NORMAL NOMODESET". |
| 18 |
This resulted in the usual initial garbage which was not cured by |
| 19 |
loading the frame-buffer module. So disabling frame-buffer support made |
| 20 |
things worse, which is rather what I was expecting. :( |

Given the almost total lack of response to my post, I guess I am stuck |
| 23 |
with this problem. |
