The framebuffer console replaces SVGATextMode (although something else might be replacing that, for all I know). Running the Matrox framebuffer at 1024x768 gives you oddles of screen real estate with quite a usable font (IMHO). The framebuffer console is a part of the linux 2.2 kernel. The VGA16 mode works on all machines I have tried it on, but is not as fast as the standard text console (esecially for scrolling back (eg., in less), in my experience). cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
