I didn't have 132x60 in mind, just plain 80x25 so I don't have to keep switching VGA plugs in the back of the box (at over 100 MHz bandwitdh, VGA switches are useles unless they're digital, and then they're *very* expensive). But as Terry pointed out (and the problem was also brought up last time), any user land stuff would just blow away and be useless in kernel debugging (resetting the VGA board). Wish I could find a high IRQ serial card for a serial console *sigh* :-) -- Phil PS: Anyway, there are few weirdos like us with strange monitors out there. -- -[ Philippe Regnauld / regnauld@eu.org / +55.4N +11.3E @ Sol3 / +45 31241690 ]- -[ "To kärve or nøt to kärve, that is the qvestion..." -- My sister ]-
