xfbdev should work if you were able to boot with a frame buffer (Little Penguin Icon in the upper left corner before text starts scrolling).

that has happened at some point so maybe i have a chance

right when you get the boot prompt
At 'boot:' type 'fb800x600'
So it looks like this:
'boot: fb800x

<added>
If that works and you get the little penguin be sure to select xfbdev, not xvesa. 600'

can i put the command fb800x600 in some startup file so it executes? i am just not sure when boot is? lmao

when i start my machine the only chance i get to enter anything is when i am asked for login by prompt.
