Hmmm...

I've got 2.6.24 uvesafb set up and starting but I'm getting

/uvesafb: Getting VBE into block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=1)
//uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22

And of course google is mute on this.  I get a handful of hits but nothing that would explain this.

I can see two possibilites:

1.  My mobo + video card doesn't support vesa 2.0
2.  I'm trying to set an unsupported mode.

The video card is a nVidia 6200 and the mobo is a ///WinFast/// K8S755A

Any ideas anyone?
