uvesafb will not give you extra resolutions. It will however allow you |
| 25 |
to use non-default refresh-rates which is sometimes useful with CRT |
| 26 |
monitors. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
But it has a drawback too: it needs a userspace tool and resolution is |
| 29 |
switched too late during the boot process, meaning until it loads you'll |
| 30 |
be seeing the kernel boot in 80x25 mode (which in turn means no boot |
| 31 |
graphics/logo right from the start.) |
