I think what led me to believe this is that SDL has a setting for broken modes. If you set this then it dosen't do a mode scan and only tries to set what you request. Normall it tries to match the nearest mode if it can't find what you request. So I glarked out that the ioctl must be trying to apply the settings but I bet its for the other graphics backends that SDL supports. --=20 Richard A.
