15 Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
16 display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
17 everyone wants that.
18
19 The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
20 their full potential in text mode. Download it from

29 help
30 The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
31 the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
32 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
Matt LaPlante01dd2fb2007-10-20 01:34:40 +020033 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
Antonino A. Daplas15bdab92006-03-27 01:17:20 -080034 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
35 down the console.
36
37 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
38 RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

Manuel Schölling1a336c92017-01-13 21:07:58 +010055 Say Y here if the scrollback history should persist by default when
56 switching between consoles. Otherwise, the scrollback history will be
57 flushed each time the console is switched. This feature can also be
58 enabled using the boot command line parameter
59 'vgacon.scrollback_persistent=1'.
Manuel Schöllingaabd31c2017-01-13 21:07:57 +010060
61 This feature might break your tool of choice to flush the scrollback
62 buffer, e.g. clear(1) will work fine but Debian's clear_console(1)
63 will be broken, which might cause security issues.
64 You can use the escape sequence \e[3J instead if this feature is
65 activated.
66
67 Note that a buffer of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE is taken for each
68 created tty device.
69 So if you use a RAM-constrained system, say N here.

75 Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics

77 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
78 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
79 normal VGA driver will handle it.

160 the console. This is useful in combination with the "quiet" kernel
161 commandline option to keep the framebuffer contents initially put up
