While it makes sense that changing acceleration is a mode-switch item (quiescing video engine and such), it seems more like it should be an ioctl (or sysfs!) thing now... Changing certain bits of var and hoping that set_var() will guess in the correct way seems generally b0rken... comments? -dte ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
