I did go thru that page and `think' I checked them off but I came to
that URL kind of late in the game... It would have no doubt went
better if I'd caught that earlier on.

It does appear to share some confusion with a couple of other pages.
I don't have them to hand but one said flatly not to use `any' of the
first bunch of framebuffer settings (1st and 2nd is based on how they
are arranged in `menuconfig') and to only use the second set (a few
lines below).

They were saying that the kernel frame buffering will absolutely
not work if one employs any of the settings from the first bunch.
