yes, i use fbdev, and had tried removing the 800x600 mode with 90Hz and
100Hz refresh rates from /etc/fb.modes, and it made no effect. It never
had a 95 Hz mode, which made me think that GGI was doing something on
it's own. also, are colors supposed to be a part of fb.modes? i don't see
them there, and can't figure why the refresh rate would change between
8 bit and 32 bit color.
hmm, possibly related:
When i boooted up 2.4.0-test6 for the first time, /dev/fb1 (my second
matrox card) was no longer recognized. I wonder if this is kernel related.
