The later. After you've unpacked linux-2.2.16:

cd linux
cat s3pat | patch -p1

Looks like I either have to get a VESA 2.0 card working (I have two
that might be) or compile my own kernel modeled on yours but with
the patch.
Next week.

Huh? The bzImage, which I posted on my site, has that patch.

I thought you said it was not included in your kernel, just the framebuffer stuff. Good, I have lots of S3 cards!

Meaning that any fb program I run would be at that resolution?

Yes, with vesafb. Not all fb programs are full screen.

Would I have any choice after booting of 80 vs 132 columns?
I should try it out before asking many more questions.

The higher resolution you select = more columns.

I meant can I change resolutions after booting? I can with vga=ask and restoretextmode and resizecons. I usually want 80x25 (because mda won't work otherwise) but sometimes more columns or rows for text browsing etc.

xfbdev puts you into X? How to add an rxvt, with &rxvt on cli?

Or replace Xvesa with Xfbdev, and use xinit.

So there is a choice of using fb like any other X server (which
lets you unload it later) or xfbdev.

No. Fb is just a device driver. It's not an X server. Xfbdev is an
X server, which uses the framebuffer device to display, instead of
sending commands directly to the hardware.
I will get this straighter after I try it.
