- Hi...
-
- I have a Vega Vram II video card hooked up along side an ATI 8514
- Ultra video card. I am running X8514 so I'm not terribly bothered by
- this problem, but there are times I would like to use Text mode in
- other than 80x25 or 80x50 geometry.
-
- When I compile Linux to ask for which resolution I would like to use,
- It always defaults to another video card other than mine. I once
- spent a few minutes trying to move the init code that test for my
- video card to the top of the code, but was not so successful in doing
- so, because even though I was given a proper list of geometries to
- chose from, I was not able to switch ot any of them. This is probably
- do to the fact that the last video card checked for is the Vram II, so
- I was not successful in cutting and pasting the code elsewhere...
-
- Someday when I have time, I am going to go in and try to figure out
- why it doesn't work, but before I do, I would like to hear from others
- who may have, or may not have similiar problems with configurations
- similiar to mine...
-
- Thanks in advance for your responses...
