It won't work unless you have the exact same card. Also, the card must be supported by svgalib (the VESA driver probably won't work). > Assistance ASAP in this case would be appreciated as he has a great > uptime record and therefore doesn't want to reboot justto fix > a cranky display :) Latest svgalib snapshot has a util called mode3 in the lrmi subdirectory. All this program does is call the bios to se video mode 3 (80x25 standard text mode). It should work on all cards where the VESA driver works, but also on others. It works on my RagePro and AT25 cards, where the VESA driver does not work. -- Matan Ziv-Av zivav@cs.bgu.ac.il Vote MAKI - the Israeli Communist party
