Not sure which module exactly uses video=, but it's obviously a setting specific to the radeon frame buffer device. I've checked, and my kernel has all frame buffer devices as modules (none loaded), except for vesafb, which is compiled in. That's the one to zero in on then. > Just the 1024x768 matters. Don't count on that quiet yet. CRTs would be expected to deal with anything between X and Y, I'm not totally convinced projectors aren't only dealing with a number of *discrete* frequencies between X and Y. The manual and advertising guffs would naturally be misleading about this. > >is quite wide - including 60 <off he goes to find the manual quote..>. > > XGA @ 60 70 75 85 89 Hz This does indeed suggest a number of discrete frequencies only. Try 65Hz and see whether it's black-out. > I am examining menu.lst - defoptions=vga=791 is mentioned there ... Yeah well like I've been saying. vga= is a setting for the vesa frame buffer device, and it sets the console's resolution, number of characters (by way of console font size), and probably the refresh rate too. > It seemed a facetious comment, or one somehow disconnected from the > trail of clues.
