  • scfg freezing computer / error on exit

    From Deepend@VERT/RDBBS to All on Mon Dec 12 21:29:13 2016
    When I open scfg from the console it works but freezes the computer shortly after exiting. Also after I exit scfg it comes up with a big list of [drm:vmw_fb_check_var] *ERROR* Bad bpp 16. and also says the same error with number 8 and 24.

    Running Synchronet 3.16c. on Centos 6.8

    Thanks

    Try the available "scfg -i" options (e.g. '-ic', '-ix', '-id') and see what combination triggers the problem. If it only happens in "SDL mode", then just stick with curses mode ('-ic'), for example.

    Oh I like that. -ic seems to work... now will see if it still freezes..

    Thanks again. You guys are always so helpful. Really appreciate it.
