Still, i don't think its modular vs builtin nature should change things, except if some stuff noz use vesafb, while vga16fb was used previously. Not sure, i deal in real framebuffer devices, not pale imitations like vesafb or vga16fb. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
