But now you can use 'fbset > 1024x768-60' (or any mode smaller than 1600x1200-60) for example and it > should work. No, it doesn't. I've tried all the methods from 640x480 to 1600x1200, and they /all/ come up snowy. This is starting to look queerer and queerer. I've also tried changing vf min and max as you suggested: > You might want to change vfmin and vfmax to 59 and 61 and even the M and MR methods which you suggested in the other email. Since nvidiafb is being loaded from the command line because it's a blacklisted module otherwise, I've been using the mode_option option. However, neither the mode_option nor fbset seem to give me anything not snowy. Damn. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
