Compile with vesa-fbcon supprt and put this into yout lilo.conf
append = "video=vesa:ypan"
vga = 771
This sets your VGA into VESA mode 0x103 (800x600x8bpp) and tells you VESA-fbcon
driver to use scrollback support (if VESA 2.0 PMI exists).
Read linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb-txt and linux/Documentation/svga.txt.
