When i did this i follow gentoo wiki's tutorial, but this part is not there, yesterday i check the official web and i see this part, now is working great! Many thanks!. I have a n old notebook with a intel video chipset (810) should i use the * intelfb* instead of *uvesafb*? BTW: Is there any chance to avoid to see my background images when the kernel end load and just before kdm start? I get the image i choose two times...and it would be great if i just keep a dark screen or somethinf similar. Many thanks, Cheers!

Did you tried to find out what resolutions are supported by your graphic card (e.g. hwinfo --framebuffer)? I only know this tool to get the necessary hex code. So I don't really know if the vga= option works with uvesafb too. I have to correct my statement that I am using uvesafb. It seems that I am using vesafb. This is because I don't want either any additional userspace application (v86d) nor bootsplash etc. acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] uvesafb and screen resolution

Do any of you know how to make uvesafb (that replaces the old vesafb-tng) set to a pre-defined resolution? What I mean is that with vesafb-tng I used to set like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as fb settings and then, during boot, while kernel was loading, when it passed through that instruction, it would start using the console with those fb settings and the penguins on the top. Then the penguins disappear and I had a great text console @ 1440x900. I remeber putting the exact string [EMAIL PROTECTED] when building my kernel on the vesafb page. Now with uvesafb I don't get that option and my text console has a horrible resolution. A simple lspci will generate text long enough for a line to break. Anyone?

Re: [gentoo-user] uvesafb and screen resolution
Hi. Try to determine possible resolutions by typing hwinfo --framebuffer. Use the hex code 0x... and put it as kernel parameter in your grub.conf. For 1400x1050 with kernel 2.6.24-r3 I am using the following lines: title Gentoo GNU/Linux (gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3) root (hd0,1) kernel /gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3 root=/dev/sda5 vga=0x344 Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I think since kernel 2.6.23 (or maybe 2.6.24) there is only uvesafb - nothing else to choose. uvesafb replaced vesafb-tng. Greets, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Okay, *that* I didn't know. :-) I do know 1440x900 is a supported resolution on my machines since it's the native resolution of their screen's.
