Post #101,303 by kmself 5/11/03 4:34:37 PM Reply	Debian X config & framebuffer As Mike Vitale and I (Yendormike) found out, if you don't have the framebuffer loaded from bootup, the X server reconfigure won't work as expected. \r\n\r\n That's news to me. I append a `vga=6` to my LILO prompt (yeah, yeah, need to get GRUB on there...). On the past 3-4 systems I've installed, no issues with getting X configured. No framebuffer anywhere. --\r\n Karsten M.

Stupidity. Whatever.\r\n \r\n Keep software free. Oppose the CBDTPA. Kill S.2048 dead.\r\n[link\|http://www.eff.org/alerts/20020322_eff_cbdtpa_alert.html\|http://www.eff.org/alerts/20020322_eff_cbdtpa_alert.html]\r\n

That's the whole idea. \r\n\r\n \r\nIs it a bad idea?\r\n \r\n\r\n No. \r\n\r\n \r\nThe X-windows version is 4.1.0.1, and it says it is very old.
