It was I. I heard no more, I´d still be interested, I
still think it is needed. But I need info, obviously:
what is the software, what is the hardware, what
works, what does not work, where can I contact you,
the informer.

I even installed a blog, but I am only on a dialup
line, being in Mexico outside of the city.

I think all suitable sets of hardware/software will be reduced
to video card compatibility, because each video card under
XFree86 uses specific driver, which is most important
neither kernel version nor glibc version nor XFree/Xorg version.

Actualy should be printed video card chipset/manufacturer
xf86 driver [version].

I keep this one:

You are wellcome edit this file.

If someone cannot start linux-ruby under 2.6.XX ,then
cause is 2.6.XX kernel , which is unstable, incompatible, under
development and so on, and so on.

Of course front end of linuxconsole.sf.net does not look nice today,
because freezy in the 2001, but only administrator can change it.

Add this one to your db:

Nividia GeForce4MX440(PCI)+TNT2M64(AGP)
 Success. If Nvidia closed source driver use 
-probeonly first.  Nv works also with Debian Sarge
XFree86.

There is one added problem.  The pc bios tend to
initialize one card only, and some cards don't work
at all until the bios initialization have run. 
Now, xfree/xorg can run bios initialization for any
card, but that will only help those who want to
run X.  I cannot see how it will help those who
want to run fbcon on several cards.

I think in fbcon case most helpful is prayer.
I am not capable solve fb low level driver troubles,
which pop up allways.
