Description Robert Blyler 2002-07-15 20:31:33 UTC

fbset doesn't work due to the missing fb.modes.

bash-2.05a# fbset "1024x768"
fopen /etc/fb.modes: No such file or directory

You can use modeline2fb if you have modelines in your XF86Config

for example

modeline2fb -d 24 /etc/X11/XF86Config > /etc/fb.modes

The depth depends on video card

I will see about adding a generic one to the ebuild this weekend 20 or 21.
