Great, thanks a lot !
I did compile the kernel the mach64fb and went OK (at least the compile ;)
I didn't have much time last time to dig more but the symptoms are those:
-> text is pink on white (I used the "smaller" font)
-> I can't input anything with the keyboard any more ;(
as a n00b, I forgot to setup the network, so I'll have to boot the CD &
chroot to check (and recompile with new options) the kernel conf (maybe
add the wsmux pseudo-device if not present).
for the 4sec the services start, the display seems quicker than without
RASTERCONSOLE... unusable (as it) after, but quicker :)))
more news this evening after work ;)
