There should not be much variance between our cards, I wouldn't think; except for memory. Mine's got 64 megs. I noticed right away that *none* of the 32k color modes were working. But here is what I found.... Kernel VESA mode numbers: | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 ----+------------------------------------- 256 | 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307 32k | ----- ----- ----- ----- 64k | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A 16M | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ----- These numbers should be valid for a GeForce2. I find it strange that 1280x1024@16M doesn't work. I didn't see much console speed difference between the modes. Since I've got a 20" monitor, I just left mine in 0x31A. ;) Now I can go to vc/1, then cd to /usr/bin and halfway see a respectable amount all at once with an ls. <g> It's the bomb! --LX -- °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
