Re: intelfb on 82852/855GM

        Hi,
   
    Local Flat Panel support isn't fully implemented in intelfb. Only 
CRT output is.  The workaround is to use the BIOS to program the graphic 
chip at boot time using the 'vga=' option. One restriction is the driver 
cannot change video modes.

Regards
Sylvain
