  12           Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
  13           display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
  14           everyone wants that.
  15
  16           The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
  17           their full potential in text mode. Download it from
  18           <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.

  33           This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If
  34           you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your
  35           card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like
  36           SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the
  37           "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set
  38           "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try
  39           "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about
  40           how to pass options to the kernel.)
  41
  42           Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information
  43           about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.

  49           Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
  50           adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
  51           will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
  52           say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
  53           normal VGA driver will handle it.
  54
  55           To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
  56           module will be called mdacon.
  57
  58           If unsure, say N.

 108           machines.  Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
 109           The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.

 116           your frame buffer console usually use.
 117
 118           Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
 119           kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
 120           the questions about foreign fonts.

 132           Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
 133           lot more readable.

 135           Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N
 136           here is safe.
