This was asked by me a week or 2 back,and the answer is that in your .config that built your kernel, you probably have both a framebuffer for your card enabled, and a generic vesa framebuffer. Turn off the generic framebuffer and make/reinstall your kernel. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.22% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
