I put it in the ServerLayout section, "DontZoom 'off'". The man page explicitly says you can put any of the ServerFlags options there. >I know you've said (>=twice now) that ~"it doesn't work": but not >v.clear exactly what "it" means there - i.e. what _have_ you tried, >that appears to not work. I spent hours over the last few days working on it, with and without anything in /etc/X/xorg.conf.d, a ServerLayout section, DontZoom flags, and nomodeset. The latter does work, and causes the VESA driver to be used without KMS instead of Nouveau with. >> I know "X -configure" utterly fails (lots of complaints about that), >Doesn't _utterly_ fail. It said (EE) No devices found, that's pretty utterly in my book. To the point, are you using KMS with 1) any driver and 2) Nouveau, and getting on-the-fly mode/resolution switching with CTL-ALT +/-? Is it working for you? How did you accomplish that? And, except for the performance boost for gaming or streaming video, what does Nouveau actually benefit over VESA? I'm exactly not sure WHAT I'd be missing in user experience by not using it. Wikipedia talks a lot about architecture, nothing at all about what's better in user experience except momentary "flashing" during mode changes. -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
