laptop:~# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/hda1 splash quiet ro

( you don't see vga=791 or 788 because it will not boot otherwise ! i get a

laptop:~# cat /proc/fb

laptop:~# ls -l /dev/fb*

i have kernel 2.6.25-trunk on compaq presarion 1500 + ATI Technologies Inc
Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
