-But before we install the bootloader, we inform you how to configure -framebuffer (assuming you want it of course). With framebuffer you can run the -Linux command line with (limited) graphical features (such as using the nice -bootsplash image Gentoo provides). -

- - - - -Optional: Framebuffer - - -

-If you have configured your kernel with framebuffer support (or you used -genkernel default kernel configuration), you can activate it by adding a -a video statement to your bootloader configuration file. -

- -

-First of all, you need to know your framebuffer device. You should have used -uvesafb as the VESA driver. -

+

-The video statement controls framebuffer display options. It needs to be -given the framebuffer driver followed by the control statements you wish to -enable. All variables are listed in -/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/uvesafb.txt. The most-used options -are: -

- - - - - - - - ywrap - - Assume that the graphical card can wrap around its memory (i.e. continue at - the beginning when it has approached the end) - - - - mtrr:n - - Setup MTRR registers. n can be:
- 0 - disabled
- 1 - uncachable
- 2 - write-back
- 3 - write-combining
- 4 - write-through - - - - mode - - Set up the resolution, color depth and refresh rate. For instance, - 1024x768-32@85 for a resolution of 1024x768, 32 bit color depth and a - refresh rate of 85 Hz. - - -
ControlDescription
- -

-The result could be something like -video=uvesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap,1024x768-32@85. Write this setting down; you -will need it shortly. -

- -

Now, you should install the elilo bootloader.

-

-Now continue by installing GRUB, GRUB2 or LILO. -
