Nope, the FB device insists on opening in a VGA frequency unless
you fiddle round with FB.modes config file.
Anyway, even once you've got it (partialy in my case) working, it's
also a pain installing new software, as out of the few programs I've
downloaded from the internet, only 1 actually installed/compiled
right. (it was really disappointing when I couldn't get the PC
emulator working :(
PS. It can't be Linux/68k's fault, I'm using APUS :)
See ya :)
