However, I was wondering, is there any way to get XFree86 to use syscons' VESA modes as a dumb frame buffer? I heard this was possible, or was going to be possible... Anyone have any ideas? -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
