16 sisfb is eg. useful if you want a high-resolution text console. Besides that,
38 Well, it depends: If compiled statically into the kernel, use lilo's append
39 statement to add the parameters to the kernel command line. Please see lilo's
40 (or GRUB's) documentation for more information. If sisfb is a kernel module,

50      modprobe sisfb mode=1024x768x16 rate=75 mem=12288
54 the parameter format is video=sisfb:mode:none or video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x16
55 (or whatever mode you want to use, alternatively using any other format
56 described above or the vesa keyword instead of mode). If compiled as a module,
57 the parameter format reads mode=none or mode=1024x768x16 (or whatever mode you
