Re: [TCLUG:6627] res and refresh w/ fb

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

Thanks for all the info!! I couldn't get XF86_FBDEV to work at the right
refresh rate (didn't really try) but I got the right resolution and
found my X speed (or scrolling in netscape) noticably slower, so I went
back to my regular XF86_SVGA and ditched fb since I only work in X. If
you can get X faster under fb than svga, please e-mail me and I'll try
to get it to look good, but if it is slower it isn't worth the time.
