There are strange bugs in the console layer and/or the VGA text console. Choosing 34-line text mode results in a 30-line screen that the system thinks has 34, with four 'hidden' lines at the bottom (on PCI TNT adapter.) Maybe a similar thing is happening in X? And BTW I found a way to get lots of network devices: 1. Load the gre tunneling driver (GRE tunnels over IP) 2. ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre remote 127.1.1.1 local 127.0.0.1 dev lo 3. Repeat for as many as you like... I can't make the kernel send packets through them but they show up on the list. ------ Chuck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
