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

22 Say Y.

28 help
29 The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
30 the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
31 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
Matt LaPlante01dd2fb2007-10-20 01:34:40 +020032 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
Antonino A. Daplas15bdab92006-03-27 01:17:20 -080033 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
34 down the console.
35
36 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
37 RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

53 Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
54 adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
55 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
56 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
57 normal VGA driver will handle it.
58
59 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
60 module will be called mdacon.

106 If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
107 automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
108 supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
109 always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
110 is the default behavior.
111
112 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
113 by using the fbcon=map: boot option.

135 The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
