hi, Ive finally gotten around to playing with the framebuffer stuff. Only trouble is that my screen is now 48x128 now the displya will move up 8 chars when reaching the end of a line. Is it possible to achieve that the screen is say 47 or 48 lines but only 120 cols (instead of 128). Going done to 800x600 will make it 99 cols, keeping the same probelm. Any idea's? -- slainte mhaith (good health), slainte (cheers) Uisce Beatha (water of live/health) ----------- Andor Demarteau E-mail: ademarte@students.cs.uu.nl student computer science www: http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/~ademarte/ Utrecht University irc: see webpage for details ----------- Believe in yourself, know what you want, and make it happen!
