linux boot parameter not working
i've been trying to get my framebuffer working for a while with my 2.6.10 kernel on slackware. i've gotten it setup using the vesafb driver, but i can also use another fb driver called intelfb because i have an intel graphics card. anyway, vesafb is compiled into the kernel, intelfb is a module. after asking around, i was told by several people that in order to use a different fb driver, such as intelfb, i would have to issue the "video=intelfb" boot parameter(i assume the "automatic kernel module loading" is used to load the module). the problem that i'm having is that this boot parameter doesn't do anything. nothing happens when i enter it at boot, i might as well be entering yes=no as a boot parameter . i've tried putting it in lilo.conf, but lilo complains that "video is an unrecognized token". this parameter didn't work on the stock kernel that came with slackware either(2.4.31 i think). i dont see it in "man bootparam". anybody know whats up here?
