When booting, how can I state that I want to use frame buffering in the grub options (/boot/grub/menu.lst)?  I can't seem to find any posts where you can choose frame buffering over xvesa.

I am having trouble with x server setup, and after booting (runlevel 5 w/ GUI) I have to startx again to get the colors right.  I'm thinking that maybe I'm not using frame buffering when booting?

Background on my issue:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You don't choose Xvesa/Xfbdev on boot, that's when X starts (using .xserverrc).

The fb#x# and vga=### options (press F2/F3, or see wiki) can be used to set the video modes on boot though.
