no video at boot when using lilo FB


Slackware 12

I posted this earlier but I left something out. While there is no video, the system does boot. Just no video.

When I set up lilo with
vga=773
I get the lilo message and the traveling periods at boot. But, then the screen goes blank.

I have enabed nvidia framebuffer and VESA for vga in the kernel. I had this working on my slackware 9.0. Why is it not working on 12.0? in the /avr/adm/messages there are lines that indicat the frame buffer is running on fb1. I would cut and paste those, but I am installing 12 on a seperate system.

Any help?

Even though I have an NVIDIA card also, FB_NVIDIA did not work. Try disabling it and just using FB_VESA.
