[opensuse] How do I turn off frame-buff switch on boot ??

I'd like to keep my console in native vga/ega mode -- its' faster, I don't miss output, nor do I have long blank periods and it's more reliable (right now I see NO output from when the kernel starts to boot until the login prompt appears, so I don't know if a kernel is coming up or has hung until the boot process has finished). So how do I disable the switch to using the frame buffer, globally for all boots on my system? Is there a simple switch I can set somewhere? Or is this a problem (a 'bug'?)...? ;-) thanks much! -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
