This is too little information to be able to help. I suggest you read a few HOWTOs and stuff about framebuffer devices. > Outside of creating my own driver (w/c I can't do, not at the moment) > is using the fbdev the only way to make unlisted video cards work? No, you could also try the vesa driver, which should work if your card complies to any recent VESA standard. Chances are pretty good it does. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
