Hello, I am using Mandrake Linux and using the framebuffer driver (fbdev) for X. I read that it is possible to change video modes by using the fbset utility. I downloaded fbset-2.1.tar.gz from http://home.tvd.be/cr26864/Linux/fbdev/ and extracted it. According to the INSTALL file, I executed "make install" as root from within the new directory. I encountered the following errors: bison -d modes.y make: bison: Command not found make: *** [modes.tab.c] Error 127 I'm a new Linux user and do not understand these errors. This is my first attempt at installing _anything_ on my new linux system, I'm hoping to get a friendlier resolution than 800x600. If anyone can shed some light on this for me I would be most appreciative. Also, I could not find any information on actually using the utility to change modes once it has been installed. If you are familiar with the utility, please give me an idea as to its use, or point me in the right direction for documentation. On another note... my video card manufacturer has a driver for my card under Mandrake, would that be more or less difficult than using the framebuffer driver? The driver is located at http://www.powervr.com/downloads.asp Thanks very much in advance. -Adam .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. : Adam Weston : : adam_weston@hotmail.com : `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
