The solution: fbconfig -prconf (print hardware configuration) and fbconfig -propt (print software configuration) did not match for some reason. I did a fbconfig -res NNNxNNNxNN, entering in the hardware config. That changed the software config to match the hardware config, and all was well. I was hoping that there was an option to fbconfig that resets both to the factory-shipped config, but apparently there is not. The only suggestions I got were how to disable the GUI login entirely, which is not what I wanted to do. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Christopher L.
