No colors, no blinking no nothing, just blackness,- apart from the text that prints out nicely. So, as long as you don't have to go back and insert (in an editor, eg) things work OK. But, to edit a Config file to get it back, I don't know exactly what to do. All this is in an attempt to get XF86-4 to work, so I don't have a GUI "fall-back" ;-> >I suspect an atyfb problem ;) I had no problem with my 2.2.17 kernel build booting from BootX. atyfb is generic, right? > >>Also, I can't figure out how to uninstall BootX.
