Interesting problem with video.  Running on a Gateway Solo 9100 with
Trident video chip set.  If I boot to Windows first, then boot Linux,
the video comes up hi-res in the text mode, and X runs fine.  If I 
boot up cold to linux, LILO complains about a bad video mode, and 
puts up a list of choices - all of which are wrong.  Boots by default
with text in 80 x 24, and when X comes up, can only see a 1cm stripe
on the right side of the screen.  

Someone mentioned on the list a video mode parameter to add in either
LILO or GRUB to force the correct mode every time.  Can anyone 
refresh my feeble memory? .. and shouldn't the installer set this ?
