Hence the OS and firmware don't need to ask the driver what modes the hardware supports. But is left up to the driver to actually exploit those modes. Without reverse engineering Apple's drivers and video hardware, we don't have the information to improve on the existing Linux drivers (as far as I know). But if you find that Linux 2.6 lacks functionality in 2.2 or in BSD, please tell us because then (time permitting) we could feasibly improve the drivers. -f -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
