Hi, |
51 |
|
52 |
you can identify the modes your graphic board supports by doing "cat |
53 |
/proc/fb0/modes" (the frambuffer module has to be loaded for this to |
54 |
work). The 2005.1 Theme needs a mode higher than 8bpp to work. For me |
55 |
this setting works: video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,pmipal,1280x1024-16@60 |
56 |
splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2005.1 |
57 |
