BTW, In my 1,5Ghz, 1GbRAM, 128Mb GPU laptop, I found out (wristwatch said so), that my Grub-to-Login times went up after using this trick, from 17 to 19 secs. I also get the feeling (haven`t taken times though), that Openbox took a bit longer to load.

Not that I mind that much the lag(CLI is still the quickest way for me to get a quick wikipedia search on the go), but it would be nice if anyone else could test it out too…

Thanks for the tip

The thing that always puts me off using the framebuffer on my desktop machine is that it is ridiculously slow at scrolling. Accidentally typing dmesg without tail is painful! It is some drive issues with the FB and my Nvidia card, rather strange but heh. I’ll check it out!

The thing that would stop me from switching is that I don’t seem to be able to get graphical display inside screen/dvtm/anything else as you do. What have you changed to allow mplayer to play its videos without some form of screen-splitter? It only works on the raw framebuffer for me which is far less useful.

I apologise for this perhaps not being the most appropriate venue for this question.

I hate to change parameters I have not even the slightest understanding of…

This is the kind of stuff you should be publishing about instead of making ignorant comments about so-called pirates.
