> Unfortunately old video cards can't do fb. Hmm... Good point. My survServer will manage it (usually run the console at 800x600 to get something like 136 columns), but I replaced the graphics card in there a while after upgrading it to a P133 (which was in itself an enforced upgrade, as the original mobo developed a crack). The original card didn't even do VESA 1 if memory serves.
In the course of my ongoing tinkering with Knoppix on the laptop, I remembered that VMware doesn't properly emulate VESA 2 either, so Knoppix has to fire up the XFree86 server. Still testing the limits on that; doesn't help that the ISO I'm using is a fair few months old and a BETA version with higher memory requirements than the current release. Going to have to annoy my housemates and hog the ADSL link for a while I guess. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
