BtTW...my bad: Derek pointed it out correctly....one needs the vesa driver for the framebuffer.....fbdev is for Slackware. I get confused between my 2 favourite distribs every now and then:-p On initiating "XFdrake" on the console , take a look at what default Mdk defaults to....usually it's the correct one/Driver. If not give us the output of "lspci" so's we can guess at what card you might have......Contrary to popular belief, there are some cards that get probed all wrong and won't run without some tweaking help.....especially kyros2 based cards and some old ATI cards. -- Good luck, HarM
