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/>.

32 default n
33 help
34 The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
35 the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
36 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
37 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during intialization.
38 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
39 down the console.

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

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

75 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
76 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
