The only problem now is with Xwindows 4 - i have a keymap for the console but under X i only have a keymap for the american keyboard layout, anyone know where i can get a UK one? Also the docs for the clgen driver mention various fd0xxx files which should exist in /dev for various video modes but none exist (only fb0 - 800x600). i have tried to create them using fbset but without much joy, if anybody has these files and could send them to me i would appreciate it as i can only run X in 640x400 or 800x600 at the moment even though my gfx card and monitor should be capable of running much higher resolutions cheers Al. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
