That would be something to try, I guess. The only problem that I can forsee is that I have my machine booting to something besides the 80x24 character screen and I can't remember which one it was (the vga option in lilo.conf -- mine says "9" but I seem to remember that menu being machine-dependent). So unless you happened to do the same thing then I'll have to figure out how to hot-switch that. Shouldn't be too hard. If there are any dark secrets of vga incompatibility floating around out there, this would be a very good time to air them. I think it says a lot about the stability and flexibility of Linux that I haven't had a console since Wednesday and my machine is still accessible (and would be even if I didn't have xdm running, though that would be a lot harder), but I have no desire to make my monitor explode because I'm too stubborn to reboot.
