Calum:
yes i know it's the framebuffer but fergodsssake how'dyou fix it so it doesn't do a GUI?

Master of Reality:
it isnt really a GUI, it jsut uses the framebuffer to run the console.

Calum:
the worst of both worlds, eh? so, eh, just to change the subject... any idea how to get it to STOP doing that?

Master of Reality:
well. once you stop it, then it will be fixed. I know I had to change the lilo options. hmmmm.... i'm thinking about dling debian and seeing about this myself as i think i have a spare computer.

flap:
ok, I just booted from my Debian cd and looked at the help. To boot without using the framebuffer just type this at the boot prompt:

linux video=vga16:off
