svgatextmode problem: VT_RESIZEX
Hi,
I have just installed svgatextmode, but have not got very far in running
it.
I have checked that the sync settings are within range. I started stm
with the desired mode. stm tries a few times to allocate memory. The
error occurs either during this or immediately afterwards. The error
message says that VT_RESIZEX: No such file or directory.
I am running 2.0.30 kernel. But I have also checked with 2.0.29 kernel
distributed with debian 1.3.
I have also checked that the details concerning my video card
and ti3025 chip are correct.
I understand that the 108x60 mode I am using is correct as well, as
it works on another linux system with the same monitor.
I suspect there is something in my xserver setup that disabled the
resizing operation. I cannot recall precisely whether I have done
so in one of the many configuration programs I have run....
Any one has any idea?
