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/>.

27 The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
28 the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
29 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
Matt LaPlante01dd2fb2007-10-20 01:34:40 +020030 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
Antonino A. Daplas15bdab92006-03-27 01:17:20 -080031 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
32 down the console.

35 RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

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