I enabled fbcon use flag and re-emerged mol. I ran molvconfig and set up a ton of video modes.
When I try to do startmol (from within X/Kde and without) I get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left. Anything I type gets echoed to the screen but that's it. Thanks! Mark M.

Hart > molvconfig is only available when you enable the fbcon use flag since it's only appropriate when you're using MOL fullscreen on a virtual terminal. If you don't want to use MOL this way, make sure you turn off the virtual terminal switching in /etc/mol/molrc.video. If you do want to use MOL on a virtual terminal (recommended since it's faster) re-emerge MOL with the fbcon use flag set. - -Joe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEXNP1wGq7BLLARfoRApYgAJ9TYBI4bXLQH9xt0qdGJ32c8mKPrACgxWWp lA1Uj5mtcD90RmkqruE/Wsc= =rU/Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] mailing list -- No virus found in this incoming message.
