Vesa is the driver I belive Slackware defaults to in the config that is stock install (correct me if I'm off on this...), which is ok for many people. As he says, you can probably do better. When you asked about it on #slackware originally this didn't occur to me then, as I myself use the same driver (monitor's a 2nd-hand, 2nd-hand and even the logo's worn off the front =) no clue on this one, I'm not big on GUI's ) -- [jayjwa] CCSPS SSPI ABC XYZ ABC123 MPG321 MPG123 *Notice* Auto-Reply email is annoying, and it spams people you don't even know 9/10 times.
