It probes the video card & attached display to determine supported modes, and provides that list in /sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes. So I'll use uvesafb to get that list, and choose a resolution I want from it, and then use vesafb w/ that video mode. YMMV, Conway S. Smith --=20 The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After that, it's all learned. (Bruce Ediger, bediger@teal.csn.org, in comp.os.linux.misc, on X interfaces.)
