Re: [gentoo-user] "vga=791" no longer works with 2.6.0

[Frank J. Mattia]

I have this same issue.  I use 795 i think for 1600x1200 and i get the 
same blank screen.  i know that someone mentioned something about their 
nvidia drivers or something but im using a plain jane matrox parheila 
512 card and have never needed any external drivers..

not only that but when i take away the vga parameter (which im sure you 
must have tried) and gdm starts up.. if i ctl-alt-Fx anything.. i get a 
garbled output...  its like all the vtermals are corrupted after any 
g/xdm starts...

i would love to know a solution to this because its one of the few 
things hanging me up with the 2.6 kernel (that and i cant find the post 
on how to get 2.4 mouse behavior or how to get alsa working on generic 
ac97 onboard soundcard)...

thanks,
frank

 I updated my GENTOO/Linux laptop to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.0 -- and am
 quite happy with it.
 Except for one thing: The "vga=791" boot parameter that I used with the
 2.4 kernel series to have a 1024x768 console during boot no longer
 works. If I pass it to the kernel I get a blank screen until gdm has
 been started.
 Any idea on what the correct parameter would be?

 Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
