yeah, really easy. If you use grub, make sure there isn't a "vga=xxx" where xxx is some number, in your menu.lst. If you use lilo, look in /etc/lilo.conf. There is a line that says "vga=xxx", again where xxx is some number. Either uncomment that line or make it be "vga=normal" This will disable the vesa framebuffer. You can also try some of your Fn keys. One might make the 640x480 be fullscreen. Hope that helps. -- William Enck [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
