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

23 Say Y.

29 help
30 The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
31 the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
32 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
Matt LaPlante01dd2fb2007-10-20 01:34:40 +020033 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
Antonino A. Daplas15bdab92006-03-27 01:17:20 -080034 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
35 down the console.
36
37 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
38 RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

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

112 If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
113 automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
114 supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
115 always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
116 is the default behavior.

118 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
119 by using the fbcon=map: boot option.
