Toolbar alerts you the instant new Mail arrives. > http://tools.search.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/ That link made it a little clearer; the vesafb driver is being used by me because to it has been added x86_64 support. Vesafb_tng doesn't work on 64-bit -- but if you're 32bit ,that's what you should be using. But have you tried commas rather than colons? and with an @ symbol? That's how http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gensplash#Required_Kernel_Options, and more list it. the dash goes before depth, not refresh. also, gentoo has a doc: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10 good luck. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
