Well what used to work doesn't anymore. I have a AGP2 Asus motherboard with a NVidia GForce 7600 AGP2 card. It is no longer being setup at boot time. I have for years used VGA=0x346 to get a 21 inch monitor to have a nice screen. It works in X but not in a console (tty#). It now is not being seen as VESA settings and is only spotted as a VGA card. I have looked at "hwinfo --gfxcard" and hwinfo states the card correctly but doesn't call the correct modules. hwinfo states I need modprobe neuneau and nvidiafb modules. However, they must not be loaded at boot time and therefore, I am getting a black screen and with VGA=(a selection) I get a 21 inch monitor with a 640x480 screen.
So which is it? Black screen if you use vga=somethingorother? Black screen if you don't use vga=somethingorother? SaX2 never had anything to do with tty mode. Take a look at http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 to see how the current Xorg versions differ from what used to be and what keeping SaX2 supported might entail. For your ttys, try on cmdline instead of vga=0x346 something like video="VGA1:1600x1200@75" or whatever xrandr shows as the name of the video output port you're using. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
