[ltp] Video corruption in console mode : solution

[Matthew Davis]

The solution to virtual console problems such as these (on my T22 at
least) is to use the VESA frame buffer.

Add the following line to /etc/lilo.conf

append="video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap"

and run /sbin/lilo.  You can also specify a video mode: for 1400X1050, 16
bit colour I have

vga=0x33C

see http:///www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO.html for more
details.

Matt.
