The reason why ggiSetMode() fails, is when you try to set another video mode you get at boot time. That's no GGI and no fbdev limitation. It's a vesa limitation. Vesa requires to run in real mode to have direct access to the BIOS and that is only available at boot time. Hope that helps. CU, Christoph Egger E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
