Re: [PLUG] full graphical web browsing from the console (without X)

Take the hex value and convert it to decimal. For example, 0309 in hex = 777 in decimal. I just used a scientific calculator since I don't happen to remember the conversion formula.

I also use the vga=0xa on the kernel line in grub like how they describe
doing a vga=780. Out of curiosity, I tried the vga=780 and it produces
the same results. Can anyone shed some light on how this number is
generated? It seems to be the key to many of the things I'm attempting
to achieve with frame-buffer.
