Subject: [9fans] Where is vgactl?
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 09:24:34 +0000	[thread overview]

OK, maybe I'm just dumb, but I think I'm doing this right.

I'm trying to change the VGA setting for my system. According to the
docs if I want to change the size of the screen I type:

echo -n 'size 800x600x8' >/dev/vgactl

Right? When I do, I get an error stating something to the effect that
it can't find vgactl. Sure enough, it's not in /dev...or anywhere! Am
I going about this correctly?
