This doesn't work. Get dumped to a screen with the
error message:

'You passed an undefined node number'

Then a request to pick 0-9 modes or use 'scan'

Choosing Scan freezes the console for about 15 secs
after which default(?) framebuffer boots.

Picking modes 7-9 leads to Unknown mode, invalid ID.

Picking modes 0-6 leads to the same default(?)
framebuffer.

This was the model I followed in the posting

http://groups.google.ca/group/linux.gentoo.user/browse_thread/thread/114f64c0165ab4f3/2007d4aca55bd086?lnk=st&q=framebuffer+1024x768-60+fish&rnum=1&hl=en#2007d4aca55bd086

BTW, some googling revealed that that my monitor has
the following specs:

EISA ID:0, Horiz Khz: 30.0-70.0; Vert Hz: 50.0-120.0

Any idea how and where to incorporate this info?
