No, I'm talking about boot loader configuration (the boot loader passes |
| 13 |
a command line to the kernel on which there should be a "video" |
| 14 |
parameter being set). Maybe genkernel does it for you, I can't tell |
| 15 |
since I never used genkernel and probably never will. |

I'm really out of ideas here: I don't know how much genkernel |
| 32 |
automatizes the kernel configuration and don't use it myself. Also, it |
| 33 |
depends on the framebuffer driver whether it matches the configured |
| 34 |
video mode with some information from the monitor. |
| 35 |

Did you check the kernel log for errors, as suggested? |
