This doesn't work. Get dumped to a screen with the error message: 'You passed an undefined node number' Then a request to pick 0-9 modes or use 'scan' Choosing Scan freezes the console for about 15 secs after which default(?) framebuffer boots. Picking modes 7-9 leads to Unknown mode, invalid ID. Picking modes 0-6 leads to the same default(?) framebuffer. > See the comma?

This was the model I followed in the posting http://groups.google.ca/group/linux.gentoo.user/browse_thread/thread/114f64c0165ab4f3/2007d4aca55bd086?lnk=st&q=framebuffer+1024x768-60+fish&rnum=1&hl=en#2007d4aca55bd086 BTW, some googling revealed that that my monitor has the following specs: EISA ID:0, Horiz Khz: 30.0-70.0; Vert Hz: 50.0-120.0 Any idea how and where to incorporate this info? mw ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again!
