Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am using a NVIDrIA-card GeForce 7600 GT with vanilla 2.6.27.12 linux |
| 4 |
kernel and grub boot loader. |
| 5 |
The commandline to boot the kernel is: |
| 6 |
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2627012 rootfstpye=reiserfs root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=31B. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This works like a charm...but the resulting resolution a little too |
| 9 |
high. |
| 10 |
So I replaced "vga=31B" with "vga=ask" and after rebooting press |
| 11 |
RETURN to see all available modes. I replaced "vga=31B" with "vga=317" |
| 12 |
(both were VESA modes, if I rember correctly. |
| 13 |
After rebooting, the screen remains black as long as X were started. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Why does "vga=31B" does work and "vga=317" does not despite the fact |
| 16 |
both were reported as working modes by grub. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Ah! By the way: Interrupting grub, and editing the commandline for |
| 19 |
the kernel boot and setting "vga=317" _by hand_ works like a |
| 20 |
charm. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Any help will be very appreciated. |

Kind regards, |
