No. The way it would work is that the framebuffer device realizes they are _currently_ using the same mode so it doesn't have to reinitalize. > A curious aside: is it possible to fbset the mode of a different VC? > Eg. if I'm in VC 1, fbset only changes the mode of that VC.

Use with caution when X is running. ;) -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
