Hi Matan,
That's good news. Thanks.
What fb driver are you using?
I've tried with vesafb which was working well
with my onboard i810 chip without success.
Thanks,
Sasha

Eventually got it working with vesafb-tng.
Had to splash_geninitramfs with all available resolutions
(was using 1024x768)
and explicitly specify color depth in kernel command line
(the driver uses 8bpp by default).

Still the console comes up in 800x600 despite explicit
resolution settings. Why?

I could get better resolution in the console with nvidiafb
but nvidia binary drivers I'm using in X don't work with it.

Cheers,
Sasha
