Ok, I have a matrox g400, and all I want is the nice looking 1024x768 console. I can get this using the append="video=matrox:vesa:280" in lilo.conf. However, this stops working as soon as I enter X, and then try to either exit, or switch to another virtual console. I don't understant where ther 280 value comes from, for beginners. This is my first attempt at learning about frame buffers, so if there is a good source somewhere, please point me to it.
I should also mention that I have a viewsonic PT775 monitor, which can do 1600x1200, and will auto track horix from 30-96khz, and vert from 50-160khz, so I can't imagine I'm out of range. Trying to use fbset doesn't work either, I'm missing something fundemental here. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
