have you tried running it under X windows? (often by running "xdosemu") at least then you should be able to kill it easier (and avoid some direct-access graphics hardware issues). you could mess with the vesa stuff, i had it working once upon a time with my matrox millenium2, but its been a long while since i ran dosemu on the console directly. (and the tnt2 is probably a long way from the original vesa cards of yore) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
