Hi, Problem with the vesa is that it is not accelerated. I have an old laptop with an S3 Inc.|86cM65 [Aurora64V+] and 2MB I can run it with V4 and VESA, but V3 and SVGA (accelerated) runs much faster so I downgraded. Actually KDE 2.2.1, gnome etc... run quite well on V3 Cheers Lionel <snip> > I managed to get it going through vesa fb dev in the kernel it's a little > sloppy. > > But it's ok for now.
