12 Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
13 display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
14 everyone wants that.
15
16 The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
17 their full potential in text mode. Download it from
18 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.

33 This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If
34 you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your
35 card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like
36 SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the
37 "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set
38 "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try
39 "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about
40 how to pass options to the kernel.)

52 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
