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.

If 34 you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your 35 card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like 36 SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the 37 "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set 38 "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try 39 "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about 40 how to pass options to the kernel.) 41 42 Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information 43 about the Video mode selection support.
