I have gentoo 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 installed. Still having video problems.

Say the above is the full six of my monitor screen. The image is only on the center square. I know it can be show full screen. It works on the livecd.

I am using a Trident video card. Frambuffers was causing a problem and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off so I did the following. Used VGA and VESAFB and renamed the tridentfb.o and .c in the source so they weren't compiled. I would like to use framebuffers and get both in text mode and X mode a full screen high resolution. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks.

I only get a resolution of 640x480 when starting up. Of course X (having its own configuration) works fine. So it's the framebuffer which I have not yet found a way to make work.

However, I have not looked much into this problem as I wanted to wait for your answar. The solution may be straight ahead. The interesting part of my dmesg:
