to ask for the modes and I only get a list of the text modes. What do I need to do to use the VESA FB?
Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. It explains what you have
to do. For 1024x768 64k colors you'ld use something like
vga=0x317
append="video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr"
call lilo and on the next bootup you'll get a framebuffer console and a
penguin (actually it's one penguin per CPU :).
