The fbdev driver trusts the framebuffer device about the amount of video RAM, I don't think it could map more anyway. If you're running OFfb (check in /proc/fb), you can't use any other resolution than what you boot into with that. You'll have to use valkyriefb. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
