Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

It used to be running in FB just to get X to work proper (funky AGP slot or something). But once I updated the BIOS on it, I never put X* back on. It currently has 8 vconsoles(getty) all @ 1024x768 with some very nice clear text. I only use the console when I am downstairs. Which usually is during repairs, upgrades or other issues. I like the super wide and tall consoles. Something like 212 chars x 52 lines. Love it. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute.

Not using X on this box now, but may still swap the video card if I decide to use it for something else in the future. For now, prototyping-city! Thanks for asking... May need private-grid testers soon....any takers? Cheers, Slugbug
