In my experience it seems to be specific to the video cards. I've seen it on a S3-based Diamond card and ATI Rage PRO's, while my Matrox G200 and a Cirrus Logic at work have black overscans. Go figure. It should be a couple of simple out's to the appropriate ports to set the overscan color, but I don't have my VGA book handy. :( > Thanks, > > Randall --- John Baldwin -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
