I had a framebuffer console under linux kernel 2.4.x, with this
command in lilo.conf:

append = "video=tdfx:1152x864-16@70,font:SUN12x22"

but after compiling kernel 2.6 (no modules, all in the kernel), the
framebuffer console doesn't work anymore.

I also tried this command in lilo.conf: (notice the "tdfxfb" instead
of "tdfx")

append = "video=tdfxfb:1152x864-16@70,font:SUN12x22"

but it still doesn't work.

Anyone got it working?

Thanks.
