That doesn't appear to be the case, but I will attach the config file in
case I did something else ill-advised. I'm having no luck getting FC[123]
to use non-generic framebuffers with 2.6, either on the test machine for
which this build was done, or on my laptop, which would be a world more
fun to use at the hardware 1400x1050 instead of 1024x768.

Hope this will suggest something to you. I add lspci, unfortunately
drag-n-droped, if you can't read it I'll mail an attachment from the
actual machine.

Thanks much for your interest in this! The machine is an old Dell
P-II/350, 160MB ram, running RH7.3 upgraded as 2.5 developed and I had to
fix stuff. Other than the video issue it's been rock solid and in
regular use since 2.5.47 or so.
