These are documented in >Documentation/svga.txt and Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. I'll check those docs. However, i haven't installed framebuffer support since i don't know what it actually does. Am i correct in understanding that with vesa framebuffer enabled, my text consoles would look nicer (and my startup would include a penguin logo :-) ) ? However, i would not want to use the vesafb for X as i have my nvidia drivers handling everything. Is this possible?
