After digging through many doc files and the documentation available on xfree86.org, I found I can use fbset to get the correct settings. And after readding the virtual setting in the config file, it even worked. Dang - the server really should give a more meaningfull message than "no valid modes found" when virtual is missing :-/ But it _does_ work now! bye, Georg
