It's not much of a program -- it basically opens a VTY and calls a VESA ioctl (which requires the kludgy kernel patch). You can find a pointer to it via either of these URLs: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=234054+237210+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-mobile/19991226.freebsd-mobile http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=564252665 You'll have to download the 850K tarball to get the xvtykludge program source. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
