Yep. Exactly like the above except for some of the hex values (as you mentioned). The messages are: aty128fb: detected XCLK=0x36d6, ref_div=0x23 aty128fb: Rage128 Pro PF (AGP) [chip rev 0x1] 16M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1) Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ATY,[EMAIL PROTECTED] May be its the default Monitor settings I am using. I will look into some others that are more representive of my 17" monitor. Thanks, Brendan Simon.
