Close.  I've heard of it breifly, but :


~
root@hudson # fbset 1024x768-100
Vesafb does not support changing the video mode
ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument

~
root@hudson #


It only lets me display the mode.  The kernel doesn't let me change
it :-(.  If you know of a way to make it changeable then I would be
ecstatic to hear of it.  BTW it is an SiS6326 AGP video card.
