rivafb (framebuffer vor riva cards problems)

Hi,
        I try to use the framebuffer device, esp. the rivafb to get appropriate
resolution for my old IBM 6091 within textmode. With a riva tnt I was
successful to convert the xfree modelines to fb.modes for the
framebuffer resolution. It works the rigth way, but the brightness /
contrast are much to low and it does not seem to work with a tnt2 (M64).
I dont know too how to pass the rigth options to the kernel to get
framebuffer working from start on (I use fbset as early as possible
within init routines, but I would like to pass the options to the kernel
via "append=" line).

Thanks,
