Subject: vesafb in kernel 2.4.18?

Hello all,

Is anyone among the group actively using vesafb in their kernels?
If so what is the latest kernel version that you have built vesafb support 
into?

I am starting to believe that proper vesafb support has been accidentally 
dropped in the 2.4x kernel somewhere after 2.4.5 as that is the last kernel 
that I can have had it working under.  I'm trying to build vesafb under 
2.4.18 in support of an X implementation for the biatchux bootable cd, 
http://biatchux.sourceforge.net

I'm begging for help at this point...  I've downgraded as far as 2.4.14 and 
still can't find proper vesafb support.  I do not want to go all the way back 
to 2.4.5 as I would lose many features that were made available with the 
latest stable.

thanks,
