Hmm, for some reason, the framebuffer device refuses to display the 1024x768 mode. > (II) FBDev(0): Checking Modes against monitor... > (II) FBDev(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 640) > > Which is why I was trying to change the fb to 1024x768.. but maybe > that's not the way to go? It's a possible way, in particular if you just put Modes "current" in the Display subsection. Getting back to your original question: I guess just 'fbset 1024x768-60' (or any other 1024x768 mode, see /etc/fb.modes) doesn't work either? Do you use tdfxfb or OFfb? The latter can't change modes so you either have to use tdfxfb or the tdfx X driver. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
