You need to pass the appropriate "vga=" argument at the kernel command line (grub.conf or lilo.conf). What you need to pass here is dependant on if you use Vesa driver type "vesafb" or "vesafb-tng" in your kernel. I only use vesafb, and I use "vga=791" For vesafb-tng I think " vga=0x317 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr" will do the trick. A list of modes can be found in Gentoo docs I believe. -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
