I reread my post and even I'm not sure ow anyone is supposed to get concrete help from it. Take a look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/, there's quite a lot of documentation about various things framebuffers are good for, and things they're bad at. There's also a list of video options that can be passed at boot - I meant mine as something to be looked up and then implemented, rather than a literal piece of advice. Sorry about that. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Your ignorance cramps my conversation. | | steve@lobefin.net | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
