Perhaps I neglected to install some package? Sorry, I didn't realize hipster has it in a different place than Solaris does & OpenSolaris did - it appears to be in /jack/xorg.conf.vesa on the install media, but I don't see it in a package for a normal installation. Adding to the confusion, OI carries our man page patch documenting this file: https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/c95cbd986fe0d263b84fa8385b39d380246f894b/components/x11/xorg-server/patches/04-sun-manpage.patch#L176 You can grab the file itself from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oracle/solaris-xorg/master/open-src/driver/xf86-video-vesa/xorg.conf.vesa (Really the last 4 lines is all you need.) -alan- ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
