Sometimes, it seems, that the updates to the software sometimes leave the older stuff behind. Mine may be a bit older than yours. Can't remember offhand what the capabilities of my card are. The monitor is supposedly capable of 1280x1024, but IIRC the card I have may only support 1024x768 as a max. > I don't know if my XF86Config would help you, but if you want to give it > a try, a copy can be found at > http://hbarta3.home.comcast.net/tmp/XF86Config.txt and if you want to > compare logs, look at > http://hbarta3.home.comcast.net/tmp/XFree86.0.log.txt.

If you have this, grep CONFIG_FB /boot/<configfile>, in this case, should show whether it's compiled in or not. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
