OK thanks. Hey -- is that all still with the 3 added to the boot string?
Reason for asking is that John's slimski runit /etc/sv/slimski/run file hunts for that. What I'm wondering is if adding the 3 stops the looping and just gets one crash when you do the startx, etc.
Maybe something like: vga=773 3
Edit: Ruled-out modesetting (KMS) as on option for SMI drivers -- it's not even in linus' tree. So we're back to looking at vesa and smi for enough res to run gnumeric, etc. I did a 771 by hand in vbox and it's just not a useful res to run gnumeric in fb--773 is probably the minimum useful display. Haven't tried the rc4 yet, just got it now.
One more thing: If you have (temporarily--save them aside/elsewhere) *nothing* in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf
and no
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.in
and just reboot w/o the 3, does it just crash with the old previous 'screens found but not enough memory' kind of error? Or even using the 3 & skipping the -configure but using startx script (?)
Thanks for all the patience.
