1 Hi,
2 My screen resolution outside of X is 720x400. I don't know in which
3 file this is set and i want to change it because whenever splash
4 starts it tries to load 720x400.cfg file. I've tried to change it on
5 grub.conf file but nothing happens, it always switches back to
6 720x400. I've tried these in grub.conf file just to be sure that
7 resolution works:
8
9 kernel /kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/hda4 vga=ask
10 - The scan result returned a maximum resolution of 132x60
11
12 kernel /kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/hda4 video=vesafb:1024x768-32@80
13 - It switches to 720x400 (for all video=vesafb:resolutions)
14
15 In kernel I've enabled these:
16 Device Drivers
17 -> Graphics Support
18 -> <*>Support for frame buffer devices
19 <*> VESA VGA graphics support
20 VESA driver type (vesafb-tng)
21 (1152*864@75) VESA default mode
22 <*>nVidia Framebuffer Support
23 [*] Enable DDC Support
24 Console display driver support
25 -> [*] Video mode selection support
26 <*> Framebuffer Console support
27 [*] Support for the framebuffer splash
28
29 Can you help me?
