Huh. I get nice 1280x1024 at 16 bit (quake1 can't do more than 16bit or it falls back to vga emulation, I don't know why I keep it there since I haven't played in a long time, but it's enough). | but yes, *after* dexconf (for 4.x), i had to modify the ModeLines too. | but i wouldn't want to deal with writing the config from scratch by | hand... I agree, I used the tools to create a skeleton that I then fixed to work for me. With the other machine, though, I let dexconf create the whole thing (for framebuffer) and didn't have to tweak a thing! (errm, actually, I added a second mouse handler so I can use either the touch pad or my nice usb mouse with the scroll wheel) -D PS. hey, check out this sig, know where I got it from martin? ;-) -- Microoft DNS service terminates abnormally when it receives a response to a dns query that was never made.
