I should check the earlier Woods work for more hints :-).

One more note.  If you write-protect your boot-floopy
you will still boot, but /lib/vgadb will report I/O error.
It is interesting that after rio is up /lib/vgadb is still empty.
I guess it is written and then truncated or something.

I tried depth 16 and it came as unsupported (Millenium).
With depth 8 I got 640, 1200 and now 1600.
The 640 is unusable due to flickering.
The 1600x1200 works great.

I tried 1800 also, but for the Millenium or for the monitor
I have just a blank screen.  I'll try at home with P815, which
is mentioned to support this resolution, to see which one
is to blame. Monitor I use now is Sun-Sony GDM-5010 which
is supposed to be very high bandwidth, just like P815.

BTW I noticed that ctl-alt-del works the same as c-t c-t r.

I'll have to open this box to put HD in soon.

Thanks again,
Nikola
