Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
there is a "small" linux distribution (GRML), which I use for rescue |
| 4 |
and other purposes. I installed it on a USB-stick. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Furthermore installed in my PC there is a MSI GT430 (nvidia) graphics |
| 7 |
card and I use the nvidia-driver in conjunction with xorg 1.9.2. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
So far so nice... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The GRML uses the noveau driver as far as I know. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
When I boot from my USB-stick I get a very nice high resolution |
| 14 |
linux console. It uses vga=791 on the kernel commandline. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
When I use the same option with my kernel (2.6.36.2 vanilla) it |
| 17 |
ends in a console font/resolution which reminds me at the good |
| 18 |
old times when 8bit homecomputers were the dream of many people |
| 19 |
and PACMAN was top! ;) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I tried "vga=asK" and then "scan" but the highest resolution I was |
| 22 |
offered were 80x60 and only VGA-modes, which again looks like the |
| 23 |
"high resolution textmode" of my old ATARI 800...and not like that |
| 24 |
nice looking console which I get with the same hardware and the GRML |
| 25 |
distro. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I compared both the kernel config of the GRML distro and my |
| 28 |
own but I didn't found nay suspicious (or overlooked something?). |
| 29 |
|

|
| 31 |
Final question after all there words: How can I get such a high |
| 32 |
resolution with this hardware and the nvidia-drivers??? |
| 33 |

Best regards and a happy new 2011! |
