Thanks very much -- however on running the config I can not see a vesafb
in the list of cards in the configuration routine --

There is a Generic  Vesa #1 -- should I use that or someother?

Thanks for your help .. I have paused the config at this point so I hope
someone can come back to me soon

Thanks again
