- I built 99.1 from sources, without SVGA_MODE in the makefile (so it should
- be asking, right?), and /etc/lilo/install'ed it (the rest is from SLS .99).
- It comes up extended without asking. rdev -v /vmlinux -3, now rdev -v
- says mode is 65553, and STILL it does not ask - comes up extended anyway.
- Where am I going wrong...?
