Hello all,

  The above is a cut from the mol terminal from a recent run.
  I want to run mol at 1152x864, and it starts up in that resolution but
moments later falls back to the 640x480 default. What am I doing wrong
here?
  Haven't been able to figure out what to comment out/in on the molrc. I
have tried and mol crashes, so I went back to the molrc
generated/included by mol. Then I went and edited the resolution part,
and thought I had it made until it fell back. I have also tried
un-commenting 1152/864/75 part of the fb.modes file, but then I get no
visual at all.
  The monitor is a Viewsonic G810, and 1152/864/75 is listed on the Mac
side as a recommended resolution, so I assume I'm not going to fry
anything. (It's what I use on the Mac side.).
  I could use a hand here, or somebodies molrc to use as a backcheck.
  Thanks for any ideas or help,

Reed
