I seem to recall seeing a link to a patch that would do this a while back, but I can't find it now. I did find a patch here, http://www.opennet.ru/base/patch/100x37-800x600-100Hz.txt.html but I haven't tried it and can't vouch for its usability. Be aware that if your hardware doesn't support the new defaults set by this patch that your system may become unusable even in single-user mode. > PS: don't offer X. Why not? You seem to want to get more out of your video hardware, and in a large number of cases X does that rather well. Just a thought..
