I haven't tried passing "vga=<something>" to the kernel yet. I know how to do that with Lilo, but not sure with Grub. If I go under edit for this line in Grub any idea what I'd need to append to the line?

So far, I'm quite impressed. It's a Pentium II 400 with half a gig of RAM and it takes a lot less time to compile the 2.6 test kernels then it did to compile 2.4.x. I also like how they reorganized the menuconfig options, I haven't played around with the QT config stuff yet since I don't have X or any of the QT libraries installed on my server. I'll probably try it out this week sometime though on my desktop. I haven't had any problems with what you are experiencing but I would guess it would be something with the framebuffer stuff too. Have you tried passing vga=<something> to the kernel? Good luck. Cheers, Trevor Brian Horncastle said: > Hi all, > > I compiled and installed the 2.6 kernel, test 9 tonight.
