Hi group,

The console fonts in my new LCD monitor are H-U-G-E.
Attempts to shrink them by adding vga=xxx at the grub
prompt after the kernel line has no effect. Here's the
entire grub session:

grub> root (hd0,1)

grub> kernel /vmlinuz vga=794 #1280x1024(so I'm told)

grub> boot


I'm not using a grub.conf file, preferring the manual
method for now.

X displays the required resolution excellently.

FWIW, I'm using a Radeon 9200 pro vid card with the
digital interface.

Thanks,

I fixed this with in the kernel:

In Device Drivers | Graphics support, set VESA VGA graphics support, pick a VESA Driver Type ( I use vesafb-tng) and set the VESA Default mode to what your native resolutions is.
