In the boot loader config. I assume that you are using bootX or quik to boot, but I use yaboot. Try `man quik` or /usr/share/doc/bootx/README to learn how do do it. (Or someone here who uses your bootloader could help, too.) If your system can use yaboot, then look in /etc/yaboot.conf. You should see a stanza like this: image=/vmlinux label=Linux read-write Copy it to make an experimental entry like this: image=/vmlinux label=Linux-experiment append = "video=valkyriefb" read-write Then run `ybin` as root to copy this file to the boot disk. Then on boot, on the second prompt, press the <tab> key, and you should see a list of entries Linux and Linux-experiment. Try Linux-experiment and see if Xfree will work with the fbdev. On other bootloaders, the idea will be similar. Frank
