vesa-tng issues

Hello

I'm using the Kernel26fallen, and it uses the vesa-tng display driver, when booting up, the resolution is extremly low, and in the most parts of the boot process, I'm only seeing som text, until the x-server starts.

Here's my display line in menu.lst:

video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1280x1024-24@60

What am I doing wrong?

Re: vesa-tng issues

Does using 1280x1024-32@60 make any difference?

Tried with 1280x1024-16@60? The 32bit never worked for me.
