sculpsit daenzerm: FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO should work on offb if you pass (a mode that can be rounded up to) the exact same mode as offb is using. surely default should do this? Perhaps the routines to convert between XFree86 timings and fbdev timings are not bijective? Possible. These

fyi, the mkfontdir command got moved to the 'xutils' package. Actually, I realize that; however, it is not in xutils-4.0.1-8. apocalypse:/home/branden# dpkg -L xutils | grep mkfont /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/man/man1/mkfontdir.1x.gz apocalypse:/home/branden# dpkg -l xutils

And apocalypse is a PPC box? I guess someone needs to make sure the *.powerpc files are appropriately in sync with the *.i386 ones. Hell, -8 won't even patch on my box ( the 001_something diff just barfs with 23-odd rejects). The one I tried before (-6) I got to compile but couldn't create
