I have learned that it is fbcon that is my enemy. So I yum'd fbset. The fbset man page says the fbman page is broken. I tried it anyway after consulting fbset -help. It appears that fbset cannot set ANY mode listed in /etc/fb.modes ... err, so why does fb.modes exist if it does not describe any acheivable modes? -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
