I did so, including rebuilding the kernel a few times. This is a 1GHz VIA C7 (low power Pentium 3 equivalent) with an OpenChrome video chipset. (kernel rebuilds "take a while".) I discovered the openchrome-0.3.x driver produced a green film onscreen, backleveling to 0.2.906 got rid of it. But as the kernel doc says, "BTW, only a few fb drivers use this at the moment. Others are to follow (feel free to send patches). The DRM drivers also support this." Nothing I did could resolve this problem, and OpenChrome support interest being what it is, I don't expect resolution. Guess I can use an xterm for something important. Thanks for the suggestion though. It looked good. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
