Heya folks, I got a real polite email from John Polstra yesterday asking me how to change video modes on the TP560 -- you know, the ol' <CTRL>-<ALT>-<PLUS> thing. "How do you do it?", he queried? D'uh. I can't figure it out. It seems like somehow I need to turn on the numeric keypad on my thinkpad, which is done via a <Shift>-Scroll-lock. This turns the middle portion of the keyboard into a keypad, replete with the "-" and "+" keys. We don't have this feature in FreeBSD, so I can't figure out how to twiddle the video resolution without changing XF86Config. This would be a real handy feature for those folks with an external monitor -- there's enough video memory to run at 1024x768x8, which is pretty nice. Anybody figure out a secret combination to get around this? Brian
