This is neither here nor there for my question, but some do, some don't. This is an i7-940, Socket LGA1366, "Tylersburg" X58 Express chipset. The Socket LGA1156, [HPQ]5[57] chipsets have the integrated graphics. This video card is an odd duck--the reason I was given it--it's straight PCI, not PCI Express! I've read the Documentation/fb files, but they don't help me much. I need to understand the higher level use of framebuffers too. I'm thinking I may want to run this as a KVM virtual, so how does that play? Of course Grub-2 wants to play with the framebuffer too, before the kernel, which seems ripe for conflicts. And then there's the userland kb controls. I just don't understand how everything plays together in harmony. <snicker> Google ain't helping much. This is one of the reasons I always avoided them. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
