I don't see any sane modetable in syscons.c and this is what I said in a response to you... so, do you object to the warning about the modetable from the bios not being used? how about also printing the modetable that it was comparing against... > > you just go and try to look at the code.. and I doubt that you will > > get much father... ttyl. > > Well, I just did :) I would hope so, most of it's your code.. :) > Sorry, but I just tried to point you in the right direction, without the > need to pull out linenumbers etc etc... well.. I assumed that the -v would print out warnings or message that would tell what was happening... now can you just point me to the sane table?? -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
