No help Of course, when the LiveCD boots the framebuffer comes up in a usable configuration. So I boot the CD and chroot. In chroot #fbset -s is completely different than in "regular" mode. Here's #fbset -s after the PC boots as usual: mode "640x480-60" # D: 25.171 MHz, H: 31.463 kHz, V: 59.930 Hz geometry 640 480 640 480 8 timings 39729 48 16 33 10 96 2 rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0 endmode Which is quite useless to me. Here it is in chroot: mode "1024x768-76" # D: 78.653 MHz, H: 59.949 kHz, V: 75.694 Hz geometry 1024 768 1024 768 16 timings 12714 128 32 16 4 128 4 rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 endmode More like it! Now if only I can get non-chroot to accept the chroot modes. So I copied the better mode to the /etc/fb.modes. But when I give it #fbset 1024x768-76(or anything else) it answers: /etc/fb.modes:5: syntax error But line 5(if that's what the '5' refers to) has the same format in both versions. Neither of which were touched by human hands. Anyways I know there's nothing wrong with the card or monitor. The BIOS? Doesn't seem to hamper the CD. mw ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again! Yahoo!
