Or better yet, as root run hwinfo --framebuffer, which will printout the different modes your card will handle
Doesn't work for me (8.2). It prints some information on the screen, but all on the same line - no scrolling - happens too fast to read any of it, and leaves the screen as found when done. I tried redirecting to a file, but that comes to 0 bytes.
I am also on 8.2. Does splash work on your machine? Your video card can run X but not support framebuffers. Again, it will show what your card will handle. I suspect your card does not support framebuffer.
I disabled splash entirely on my 8.2 box, but don't remember what method I used. It works on my 8.1 box. I use the same graphics adapter in all my PCI machines. On my 8.1 box, I just tried piping hwinfo --framebuffer through both less and grep successfully: Hardware Class: framebuffer Without the piping, it starts to do the same thing that happened on my 8.2 box, writing the first group of output lines on the same line, but then printing each supported mode on a separate line. I tried again with both grep and less on the 8.2 box, and both those fail as well. -- "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
