Re: [MiNT] EasyMint/XaAES Help?!?! :)

[Keith Scroggins <kws@Radix.Net>]

Thanks, adding the path to xaaes in my mint.cnf fixed my problem and now I
can boot fine.   Now I just need to weak my setup so I boot into color
instead of mono.

If I am using a hardware screen extender (screen going to basically
800x600, i can not remember the number off of the top of my head, and I
am at work....) do I want to add a command line parameter of -fvideo 27
for the 640x480x256 color mode on the falcon?

Thanks!

Keith
