I tried this (I compiled a kernel without the ati driver in), with the following results: * I got a steady picture from the console and X * I needed to have the CRT plugged in at boot time, as m3mirror doesn't work against offb * I have to use an 8-bit color mode in X * The colors in X are totally screwy, making it not really very usable. So, can anyone suggest how I solve the screwy colors problem, or make offb use a mode deeper than 8 bits? -- Edd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
