Hi, I am using a NVIDrIA-card GeForce 7600 GT with vanilla 2.6.27.12 linux kernel and grub boot loader. The commandline to boot the kernel is: kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2627012 rootfstpye=reiserfs root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=31B.
This works like a charm...but the resulting resolution a little too high. So I replaced "vga=31B" with "vga=ask" and after rebooting press RETURN to see all available modes. I replaced "vga=31B" with "vga=317" (both were VESA modes, if I rember correctly. After rebooting, the screen remains black as long as X were started. Why does "vga=31B" does work and "vga=317" does not despite the fact both were reported as working modes by grub. Ah! By the way: Interrupting grub, and editing the commandline for the kernel boot and setting "vga=317" _by hand_ works like a charm. Any help will be very appreciated.
