Ok, I have a matrox g400, and all I want is the nice looking 1024x768
console. I can get this using the append="video=matrox:vesa:280" in

CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y# and that.

I did put it in decimal form in lilo.conf. Here's the entry that gave

I'm trying to get a better than VGA resolution on the console with a
G400 card. So far, I've gotten the console driver to work minimally
but I can't get it into a mode I want.
Here's what I get in dmesg:
matroxfb: Matrox unknown G400 (AGP) detected
Invalid vesa mode 0x01B8
