Or, as you already supposed, stop from asking for the screen's geometry. And when no dimensions are received, defaults (like largest unsigned 16-bit integer) are used... (could such a screen fit into my apartment?! Electronic paper, rolled in when I got to bed?) Maybe there is some versions mismatch in the software you try to use. -- Greetings <] Pete o __o |__ o recumbo ___o /I -\<, |o \ -\),-% ergo sum! ___/\ /\___./ \___...O/ O____.....`-O-'-()--o_________________
