Hi, This question has been rehashed many times, so I apologise. I've got VESA and SC_PIXEL_MODE in my kernel and I want to be able to do: vidcontrol VESA_800x600.
However, when I do this I receive the following message: vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Operation not supported by device The general answer to this seems to be make sure SC_PIXEL_MODE is in your kernel. It is. This is an Intel 855GM/GME Montara (I use i810 for x.org). I don't know if it means anything but in the Xorg.log file I am told that a VESA BIOS is detected: (II) I810(0): VESA BIOS detected Can somebody please tell me what this means? Somebody seemed to think that the error means that the card doesn't have a VESA BIOS but this doesn't seem to be the case. Is VESA_800x600 just not supported on the 855GM? Thanks and apologies... this topic is getting boring now ;) -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |-
