I just looked at this post again and saw that you had written a wW (lower case w followed by an uppercase w), which is what I initially thought but in my haste didn't notice on second check.

Should I start a new thread about the questions I have about the video, considering that I have strayed off the original topic? I will just put my questions below. Thanks, --e > Erich What is the way to adjust the low level video input settings aside from /boot/msdos/config.txt? /boot/msdos/uenv.txt? Do I need to compile a kernel with a console driver, or alternate console driver, to use for the display?
