Ah, yet another story - I don't know if it's supposed to work with that. It would be a good idea to mention such information in your posts, as these days 'iBook' usually refers to one of the newer machines. > I can cycle through video modes with <ctrl>-<alt>-<fn>-</> but xdpyinfo > always shows it as 800x600. xdpyinfo shows the root window dimensions, which never change normally. xvidtune -show will show the current mode. > And I don't have fbset installed. What package is it in? fbset :) Hint: apt-cache search fbset It won't help though as the atimisc X driver ignores the framebuffer device. You'd have to convert the xvidtune output to the fbset format. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
