Especially for non-standard modes like 1024x600 Modelines are still required in most cases. So no longer writing them at all would be really bad. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
