Hi,
I am using a NVIDrIA-card GeForce 7600 GT with vanilla 2.6.27.12 linux
kernel and grub boot loader.
The commandline to boot the kernel is:
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2627012 rootfstpye=reiserfs root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=31B.
This works like a charm...but the resulting resolution a little too
high.
So I replaced vga=31B with vga=ask and after rebooting press
RETURN to see all available modes. I replaced vga=31B with vga=317
(both were VESA modes, if I rember correctly.
After rebooting, the screen remains black as long as X were started.
Why does vga=31B does work and vga=317 does not despite the fact
both were reported as working modes by grub.
Ah! By the way: Interrupting grub, and editing the commandline for
the kernel boot and setting vga=317 _by hand_ works like a
charm.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Kind regards,
Meino Cramer
