no. linuxbios will configure the card. and since the card is open its not rocket science. with current proprietary cards its impossible to do that. the vga bios is a copyrighted opaque 16bit binary blob nonsense. why not vga then? because i can. the card has open specs. no need to go to vga and delay the bootup. the mode will be available via ddc. the bios does not need to be configurable at all. bios should just load the OS as fast as possible. -- things i hate about my linux pc: 1. it takes more than a second to boot up 2. keeps asking about filenames and directories 3. does not remember what i was working on yesterday 4. does not remember all the changes i have ever made 5.cannot figure out necessary settings by itself _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
