Re: changing console framebuffer modes

[John Kerr Anderson <jkanders@svsu.edu>]

This is what happens when I try to run the commands:

fbset 640x480-72

error message: ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument

or

fbset --all 640-480-72   gives the same exact error message.

Is there something that is not set up properly?  Any suggestions would be
helpful!  :-)
