[mythtv-users] Getting rid of the console framebuffer in FC 3?

[David Smith]

Thanks, for the response.

But, that wasn't working for me until I got rid of the rhgb kernel option.
(Redhat graphical boot if you aren't familiar with Fedora)
For some reason it gets in the way and my 350 ends up on /dev/fb0 which the
console is obviously using.  Removed it and added vga=792 now the console gets
/dev/fb0 and my 350 gets /dev/fb1.

Now, if I can just get X on the TV-out...
