Higher Resolution

[Steve Holmes]

I see, these options are the same ones listed in my lilo.conf file
produced by one of the slackware utilities.  However, I tried the 790
and 791 options and the two CONFIG-FB options listed below and still
no go.  I see some documentation that claims that vesa 2.0 is
necessary.  How can I figure out what version of vesa or whatever I
have? This higher resolution works fine under winblows 98, so I should
be able to do it under linux 2.4.21 I would think.
