Framebuffer on ATI Radeon 9200SE


I'm trying to find the right way to make the framebuffer console support (with bootsplash type stuff) work with my Radeon 9200SE. I'm using 2.6.10, and enabling framebuffer and using vga=791 in lilo.conf gives me an error about an undefined mode number. I've tried other vga modes with a similar result. I thought my kernel was configured correctly with fb and fb console support, but no luck. I compiled in the Framebuffer support, framebuffer console support, CONFIG_FB_RADEON, Video mode selection support, and boot time logo. Still, I get the error. Thoughts?

you need to enable VGA/VESA on the frame buffer, not your specific card .... altho you can use that card, its easier to just use the normal stuff.

Should I leave the card in as well? Or just VESA?
