Apparently, whenever the geometry is set to 1024x768, the refresh rate is automatically set to 75 Hz. I set the default value to 60 Hz instead, and now it works fine with my monitor (which doesn't do 75 Hz). If anyone has a similar problem, there's your fix. However, controlfb still doesn't do kernel args (for what reason I can't fathom), and having a default value for every resolution is not the right way to go. I, however, have no idea how to implement a more permanent solution (i.e., it actually goes to vmode 14 when you set it there, and vmode 17 when you set it there). Anyway, I'd include a patch for this if I knew how to use diff, but I suppose you'll just have to find the spot yourself if you need to fix it. Hope this helped, David -- --"Your mouse has been moved. Windows 95 must be restarted for change to take effect." ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
