Graphics Mode Woes

[Bobby Hitt]

Hello,

I'm attempting to get linux 2.6.5 to go into 1024x768x64k mode with my
NVidia GEForce card. Under 2.4.25, it works fine with "vga=791" in my
lilo.conf file. Here's what's in the log:

Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: vesafb: framebuffer at 0xf0000000, mapped to
0xe080d000, size 3072k
Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: vesafb: mode is 1024x768x16,
linelength=2048, pages=0
Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: vesafb: protected mode interface info at
c000:c590
Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: vesafb: scrolling: redraw
Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: vesafb: directcolor: size=0:5:6:5,
shift=0:11:5:0
Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: Console: switching to colour frame buffer
device 128x48
Apr 22 17:19:09 gateway kernel: fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device

Under 2.6.5:

Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: rivafb: nVidia device/chipset 10DE0110
Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: rivafb: Detected CRTC controller 0 being
used
Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: rivafb: RIVA MTRR set to ON
Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: rivafb: PCI nVidia NV10 framebuffer ver
0.9.5b (nVidiaGeForce2-M, 32MB @ 0xF0000000)
Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: vga16fb: initializing
Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: vga16fb: mapped to 0xc00a0000
Apr 22 17:57:58 gateway kernel: fb1: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device

Totally different output and no references to vesafb. With "vga=791" on
bootup the screen goes blank then switches to the normal graphics mode. Even
when I use "vga=ask" and I put in a valid number, the screen switches to
text mode momentarily then goes back to the normal graphics mode.

Here's the related portion of my .config file:
