You should compile vesa or one of the framebuffer drivers for supported chipsets. Do you run these commands as root and from linux console? If you compiled drivers as modules do you load drivers (e.g. with modprobe) before fbset? I have no other ideas. fbset worked fine for me when I used framebuffer. -- Alexander Zhuckov [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2:5030/518.50

This is what happens when I try to run the commands: fbset 640x480-72 error message: ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument or fbset --all 640-480-72 gives the same exact error message. Is there something that is not set up properly? Any suggestions would be helpful! :-) - . John Kerr Anderson `:::' ... ..

Suppose you have in fb.mode: mode "800x600-100" ... than you can try to set it for current console with the following command: fbset 800x600-100 or for all consoles: fbset --all 800x600-100 -- Alexander Zhuckov [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2:5030/518.50
changing console framebuffer modes
Hi, I have an IBM PC 350 w/S3 Trio 64 video chip-set running Debian 2.2 and kernel version 2.4.0. I have the frame buffer device activated but would like a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz. I read the man pages for and with no luck on how to change the refresh rate/resolution. I noticed in the file there are several generic console modes. How can I tell fbset to utilise the modes in ? - . John Kerr Anderson `:::' ... .. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ::: * `::.::' Powered by: ::: .:: .:.::. .:: .:: `::. :' ::: :: :: :: :: ::.::.
