You can start with 5 and increment by 5. So you need not reboot each time, compile tdfxfb as a module, and set CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y (under drivers->char). Make sure you have vbetool, and use the attached script. Thus: modprobe tdfxfb unbind.sh rmmod tdfxfb edit, make, make modules_install modprobe tdfxfb repeat The script assumes vbetool is in /usr/sbin, if not just edit. Also, unbinding will only work if X (or any graphics app, for that matter) is not loaded. Tony
