To use it, patch a 2.2.0 kernel pre-patch with vga16.patch, then
select `VGA 16-color graphics console' and `VGA 16-color planar
support' in configuration. When you reboot, you must specify vga=274
(which is 0x112 in hex) to kick your card into the proper video mode
for use by VGA16 (I have not implemented mode-setting yet).
Question: does anyone know why the entire screen turns white before
the kernel messages start scrolling up? I hunted through the kernel
source code for this, but couldn't quite figure it out.
Additional comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Ben.
