Re: screen blows up!
That doesn't work, because there aren't any strange
resolution lines in there. When I explicitly kill X I
get the following line that surprises me:
VGA(0): Built-in mode "Generic 320x200 default mode":
12.6 MHz (scaled from 25.2 MHz): 31.5 kHz, 70.2 Hz
(VScan)
Why is it scaling down to 12.6 MHz? Any ideas?
Cheerio.
