Can anyone help ??
I used to use the matrox framebuffer with a g400, and the line I used in lilo was: append="video=matrox:vesa:410" I can't remember what resolution it was, probably 1280x1024 or something, but try it with 443 and see if it works. I remember it was never particularly clearly documented, it took me days of reading and experimentation to get it right :) Cheers, Sean -- Sean Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
