I thought I read a post earlier > that said 640x480x256 would work, but it doesn't work for me. Well, I have 640x480x256 working. The problem was my mouse was set to /dev/tty0 instead of /dev/com1. I changed this, changed the mouse type from logitech to microsoft (it's a Dexxa+ mouse and is supposed to act like a Logitech, but it didn't work right), and removed all modes except "640x480". It works, but of course I'd rather have 1024x769 available. -- Eric Dittman Texas Instruments - Component Test Facility dittman@skitzo.dseg.ti.com (214) 578-3575 Disclaimer: Not even my opinions.
