1 Hi group,
2
3 My framebuffer seems to only have one mode no matter
4 what resolution or frequency it's told to use.
5
6 dmesg indicates I'm using VBE version:2.0.
7
8 Pretty sure there is some sort of framebuffer running
9 cause the screen wakes up slowly. But I can't find out
10 the mode it is using.
11
12 I'd like to be able to have web pages be displayed
13 without margins that run off the side of the screen.
14
15 The card is a Rage 128, ATI product. cpu is piii using
16 Intel 815 chipset.
17
18 Then there is this:
19
20 grub>vbeprobe
21 VBE BIOS is not present.
22
23 A search reveals precious little.
24
25 Anyone?
