In light of all this talk, I decided to give my g400 frame buffer another shot. I Recompiled my kernel, with support for the g100/g200 framebuffer devices. I added the lines below to my lilo.conf
append="video=matrox:vesa:280" That worked. I got a very nice frame buffer console. However, once I started X, and ctrl-alt'ed to another termianl, the video is all garbled, like its refresh isn't syncing or something. How do you fix that? -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eric G .
