Has anyone had a problem compiling new kernels with vga = xxx and the screen blanking out? It works perfect with the default kernels that come with the system. At first I thought it was something I was doing, but after consulting another admin, he runs into the same problem. The system is fully functional, DNS, SSH, etc. work fine. I've tried with SuSE 6.3 and 6.4, and Slackware 7. I've tried from kernel 2.2.13 - 2.2.15. It has to be an option that I'm missing or a component somewhere. I really need to compile a custom kernel, and could really use the extra resolution to work in the console. Any help/pointers in the right direction would be extremely appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!
