No, have me not yet subscribed to this list, will do it. One advantage for framebuffer is, that you must not know the video card and the X server. Video is in the kernel, x-server is fbdev-xserver. For mice it is possible to autodetect. Keyboard information comes from the first question for the boot-floppy setup. So we need only HorizSync and VertRefresh for the monitor. Thats all (if the kernel supports your graphic card). Thanks, Hartmut
