So I reconfig'd w/o VESA and removed the video=vesafb... from the kernel line in grub.conf. Then I put fbset -a 1024x768-76 in local.start and rebooted. The framebuffer opens up beautifully. Without the scrunch or big margins but still only in the one console and it doesn't switch until the boot process gets to the .start file. Rather have a continuous high-res o/p from the start like with the bootCD. I think I should put it in /etc/inittab but where? Does it matter? Or maybe it should be video=aty128fb...on the kernel line. Still some tweaking to do. But I think most of the heavy lifting is over. Thanks Dale.
