Here's the rub. No matter what I try, such as has been done from this list, I get a garbage or invisible pointer. I need a step-by-step to rebuild my kernel I am sure. Anyone got somehting along these lines for the 2.6.7? Maybe even a .config I could grab instead of trecking through the dang questions (yee-yawn)? modprobe -r rivafb does nothing to change the problem for me. Figure I must recompile to get rid of the dang module and probably replace it with vesafb. Hel-el-up! -- Thanks for your support, GregS <>< gswallow@xxxxxxxxxx
