If you compile using VESA SVGA (IIRC) support you still get the same
frame buffer....

....but you can use fbset to change the properties of this -- fbset has
(again IIRC, sorry) a config. file in /etc/fbmodes (hazey vage
memores) - I do know that *SOMEWHERE* I have a script that turns an
xfree86 config file (filled with modes for your vga card) into a fbset
config. file. I can dig it out when I get back from Vacation if you
want?
