I have much more trouble with PCX than BMP... It's not going anywhere, and DES is quite wrong about it's behaviour. The BMP module also picks the smallest mode capable of displaying the image. (If it didn't, my 640x480 splash would look pretty pathetic given that the Voodoo 3 BIOS offers at least 1280x1024.) -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
