Actually: configcompact.gz:CONFIG_FB_VESA=y configcompact.gz:CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y configidepci.gz:CONFIG_FB_VESA=y configidepci.gz:CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y configudma100-ext3.gz:CONFIG_FB_VESA=y I've filed bugs on these kernels (2.2.20 versions) to bring them up to use also CONFIG_FB_ATY and CONFIG_FB_ATY128 (and for udma100-ext3 flavor to use VGA16). As for the Matrox, that's handled by VESA, as I understand it. CONFIG_FB_MATROX is just for an accellerated Matrox mode, at least, that is implied by the documentation for that option. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
