well, i'll be able to stick it in the bootloader i hope if i use grub or lilo (planning to use grub because i am more familiar with lilo and i want to learn).

i'm not sure,but i think lilo has an option to choose which framebuffer to use.. anyway i fixed mine somehow in the bootloader when i had that problem so at least you know where to look.

yeah, you can do that in lilo, with mandrake it adds a non-framebuffer option to lilo by default, which is nice. anyway, i'm assuming grub has that too because of all the trumpets about how it's better than lilo et c.

If you use GRUB, you should search for the menu.lst file which is by default located at /boot/grub/menu.lst. I don't know however how you could pass such a parameter to GRUB.
