I succeeded to use X at 800x600, but i need to start another
framebuffer application and interrupt it before i start X.
ex: localhost>su -c "fbzen" ; nice -n 10 startx ; exit
<ctrl-c> while fbzen is running
In this condition X use 800x600 résolution. I understand that the 800
x600 mode need to be initialised before, or else it goes 640x480. How can i
pré-initialize the monitor mode so i can start X directly. When i use: fbset
800x600-60 the framebuffer comply but X doesn`t care unless i use the "trick".
By the way my monitor is a Sony trinitron CPD-1304 wich is 1024x768
capable. Frequencies are: 28-50 Khz / 50-87 Hz.

Is there a trick to compile a kernel 2.2.20 on a ppc? (atyfb)
I use:
localhost>su -c "make dep ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules_install"
After compilation time, i can`t find the bzImage in the /usr/src/linux/... or
the System.map.
Thanks again ... Charles-Éloi ;^)
Ps: I use a penthium 90 Mhz with SuSE 6.3 since 2 years now. I`m not a
programmer, but i`m very good at "finding a way to make it work". So your help
as been very usefull in my search...
By the way Powerpc rules and Debian rules...
