The gentoo docs said to add the following line to lilo.conf: append="vga=788"
When I run lilo I get the following error: Fatal: APPEND or LITERAL may not contain "vga="
After googling I found out that an error is generated if 'vga' exists in the append="" conf option:
Changes from version 22.2 to 22.3 (19-May-2002) John Coffman
....
- Fatal error if any of "lock", "nobd", "vga=", and "kbd=" are in an
append= or literal= in the config file.What is the correct way of doing this?
My version of lilo is 22.5.9
Thanks,
Paul

Hi All,
I recently bought a 17" LCD monitor which has a 'native' resolution of 1280x1024. I would like my ttys/consoles to have a resolution of 1280x1024. I think it currently has a res of 640x480.
To load the framebuffer my /etc/modules contains:
<last modules loaded> vga16fb fbcon </last modules loaded>
What can I do to get a res of 1280x1024?
I have an nvidia FX5200 and use the proprietary nvidia drivers. I run Debian unstable with a Debian 2.6.0 kernel.
Thanks very much,
Paul
