disabling all video
Sorry if this is the wrong list to ask this.. direct me to the correct list if so...
Question: I would like the kernel not to use any of the video hardware on the machine. Is there any run-time kernel parameter I can pass to disable all video? (I tried console= to direct output to the serial port, but ttys were still using the vga hardware.) My video card is built onto the mother board, and there is no way I see to disable it from the BIOS. I was hoping there was an option such as vga=disable or video=null or something like that, but I've looked thru the docs and cannot find anything.
Thanks,
Davy

you can compile a kernel without virtual terminal support
