Hello,

I used the Morphix light live CD to detect my hardware and install my
system on the Pavilion N3350 notebook.

I believe the chipset is:

Trident Cyberblase l7 AGP graphics chipset

I'm using grub as the bootloader, xfce for the GUI and it looks like I'm
still running xfree86 4.3.0 but no doubt this will change when I sync
the system with the current sid.  

I get the following when booting:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x317 noapic acpi=off
apm=power-off vga=791 splash=silent quiet
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=014587d]

You passed an undefined mode number.

Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, ,<SPACE> to continue or
wait 30 secs

Video adapter: VESA VGA
Mode: COLSxROWS:

-Insert menu of hex and col x row listings-


How can I get rid of this? 

If I just press space it does boot fine.

Should I be using something better than VESA though? How can I set this
up?

thanks,

Chris Caston
