Slackware :: Uvesafb - 915resolution - Widescreen Fb On Intel - Doesn't Give Any Documentation

I'm using slack 12.2 with a custom 2.6.27.31 kernel with uvesafb already working- 1280x800 isn't natively supported by my graphics though :-(. Which is why I'm doing this.

So I'm trying to use this gentoo tutorial to get 915resolution working on my laptop for a widescreen framebuffer. Problem is, he doesn't give any documentation on what the files in the initramfs are supposed to be or do:

Code:

Can I put it in /sbin instead without breaking anything? I don't even know what v86d.real is, it doesn't exist on my system. If somebody could explain that, that would be great.

2.) There's also a script called "dump_bios" in the slackbuild of 915resolution that's supposed to go into /usr/sbin along with the 915resolution binary. If I'm moving this to /sbin, should the dump_bios script go with it? Well, since it's only a dd command, might as well post it:

Code:

I think those are the only questions I have right now, though I'm probably leaving some out.

Ah, here's one hurdle: /usr is on a different partition than /, so I can't just change the initramfs script (I think- isn't the initramfs called before everything in fstab is mounted?).
