SuSE Linux: Version 6.0
Kernel: Version 2.2
To use the framebuffer console, you will need kernel support for the so called framebuffer device, which means recompiling your kernel. If you like to use the framebuffer X Server (you'll need it if your video adapter is not supported otherwise) you must also install a package from the CD.
Please note that we cannot provide installation support for the following steps.
Code maturity level options ---> [*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/driversand
Console drivers ---> [*] Video mode selection support [*] Support for frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL) [*] VESA VGA graphics console

vga=791Please note, that it is possible that your video card doesn't support all resolution and/or color depths.

XF86_FBDev -bpp 16The option `-bpp 16' selects a color depth of 16 bit. The color depth selected by this option must be the same as the one selected on startup of Linux via the vga option. Otherwise the X-Server won't start and you will get an error message stating an `invalid argument'. After successfull start of X you'll see the typical rastered X background with a `X' in the middle of the screen. Please try to move the `X' with the mouse. If everything works now, please quit the running X Server with ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE.
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_FBDev /var/X11R6/bin/X
startx -- -bpp 16The parameter `-bpp' selects the desired color depth.
