I'm trying to set up my frame buffer for 2.6 as per the instructions at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=49036. I followed the instructions to the letter but all I get is a thin green line at the top of my screen. My grub.conf looks like:

default 0
timeout 0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sda3 video=mtrr,vesafb:1024x768 vga=0x317 splash=silent
initrd=/boot/initrd-gentoo-1024x768

My video card should have no trouble with this and it is nVidia so there shouldn't be any trouble.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the assistance.
