I got it working on my debian box with 2.4.14 kernel as well as 2.4.15
kernel. After coming to know about the bug in unmount leading to corruption
I have now downgraded to 2.4.14. -vesa driver works.

However when I tried the same on Red Hat 7.1 with the default kernel ( I
think 2.4.2 ??? ), it gave me seggaults on startup and did not work. I
don't know why. Since Red Hat is not my main OS at home. I am mainly
working on Debian I did know bother about it.

Peace
