I haven't used fbset for a long time (because for the past several releases the default / initial framebuffer settings are already suitable for day-to-day use). So I was a bit surprised to find that the "--show" output was inaccurate on both my 10.0 and 10.2 systems. In both cases, it said the framebuffer dimensions were 1280x1024 when in fact in both cases the true pixel dimensions were 1600x1200. I suppose this is some issue with the distributed /etc/fb.modes file (which is identical on 10.0 and 10.2, both of which incorporate version 2.1 of the "fbset" package), but that's just an offhand hunch. Anyway, it probably pays to be aware of the possible discrepancy. > You taught me something knew... thank you, kindly.
