Huh. I get nice 1280x1024 at 16 bit (quake1 can't do more than 16bit
or it falls back to vga emulation, I don't know why I keep it there
since I haven't played in a long time, but it's enough).

I agree, I used the tools to create a skeleton that I then fixed to
work for me. With the other machine, though, I let dexconf create the
whole thing (for framebuffer) and didn't have to tweak a thing!
(errm, actually, I added a second mouse handler so I can use either
the touch pad or my nice usb mouse with the scroll wheel)

PS. hey, check out this sig, know where I got it from martin? ;-)
