Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've been trying the following grub.conf boot |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=intelfb,mode=1280x768-32@60 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
but no luck (that is I get the 80x25 console). The only working format |
| 8 |
appears to be |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 vga=xxx |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
where xxx does not accommodate the mode above. In fact nothing will work |
| 13 |
unless I use vga="something"; and that appears to be sufficient. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Am I using the incorrect video=... syntax? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Below follows relevant lines from /var/log/messages |

Thanks, |
