Re: Where to put fbset command during systemboot up

I think vesafb also use video= along with vga= option. I know you can 
specify video=vesafb:1024x768-60 also. But in my framebuffer driver (gxfb) 
the video= option does not work and there is no information about it in the 
kernel docs(atleast I think so).  I know we can place the fbset command in 
the /etc/rcS.d folder and it works also but it takes atleast 6-7 seconds 
after the boot starts. I mean the delay to get the 1024x768 resolution  is 
quite long and spoils the entire purpose. Also my system uses initrd to boot 
so I think I should put the fbset command in the initrd but I am not sure 
where to put it.
