Re: XGGI 1.6.0

Hi !

Yes - libaa detection seems unreliable. It's on the errata list now which
will become the "fixme" list when Marcus is back :-).

This is strange. Is it _only_ XGGI that says so ? Please send GGI_DEBUG=255
logs. That might shed some light.

You should, but not with the VGA driver, as you are limited to 320x200x8.

Hmm - use either the matroxfb from the kernel, or the Matrox kgicon driver
(don't know, if it works for a Millenium _I_, though).
Also make sure you use the setmon tool and a suitable monitor driver
(generic), so higher than VGA modes are accepted.

Other than that, only the usual limits to modes should apply.
