Maybe genkernel does it for you, I can't tell since I never used genkernel and probably never will. > > Are you sure you're handing it a recognized mode > > string?

I'm really out of ideas here: I don't know how much genkernel automatizes the kernel configuration and don't use it myself. Also, it depends on the framebuffer driver whether it matches the configured video mode with some information from the monitor. Did you check the kernel log for errors, as suggested? -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
