Hi, > 1. > Maybe there is another video=?? possible. > Velocity and X is not an issue for a fileserver. You could try to use something like : 'video=atyfb:1024x768-8@70', i.e. 'atyfb:<res>-<depth>@<freq>'. This works fine on a Powermac 6400 with a Mach64 adapter (console only, but used to work with X also). I was thinking at the time that the all cmode/vmode stuff was somewhat deprecated... Was I wrong ? HTH, Simon
