i've had the same problem about not getting the rivafb working, only the vesa drivers were doing some weird stuff too. I passed the same kernel params as my 2.4.x kernels, but the 2.5.x ones that I build just don't like to want to run in 1600x1200.

the kernel seems to lack documentation for the riva fb driver... can't find it anywhere... i'm using 2.5.68... maybe it's elsewhere (in an older release)?

I think i got fb working... i mean.. there is a fb0 dev...... but how do i change the resolution for my console with rivafb?!?!?

this is so frustrating... but it's all good...
