I saw the message knowing that L4FB needs CON and DOpE So I modified menu.lst and l4linux26.cfg for using l4con and DOpE

When I boot VMware, I just saw full black screen after loading modules. And it didn't show anything, just full black screen. So the above is my current circumstanceļ¼can someone give me some advice how to solve this problem?
Just need l4con or Dope, not both (xor!). So the screen goes black because GRUB is doing the vbeset and thus switching the video mode, which initially is black. And probably because dope and l4con step on each others feet while trying to get access to the video memory it will stop on boot-up. Just use one, either dope or con. BTW, it is good to have a (virtual) serial console to see the debug messages when using graphics because otherwise you don't really see anything if things go wrong.
