Cool! Is that in the menu.lst, or a parameter issued at the grub command
line?
It looks like a kernel command line option to me, but I don't know
video=. Obviously no good to you unless you have a readeon card.
I do, but that line spewed guff & errors back when put in menu.lst -
even though
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be correct for my LCD. Maybe I need to change
ywrap,mtrr somehow?
Kernel command line options can be supplied bia lilo or grub menues, or
hardcoded into the bootloader (via menu.lst in grub). Just add them to
those which are already in your distro. You can see the options of the
currently running kernel by looking at /proc/cmdline.
will keep on exploring..
XGA @ 60 70 75 85 89 Hz
And can Barry please tell us what frequency his display is set to? -
Because that was 'plug & play' @1024x768.
Run xvidtune and read it off.
Have just tested my desktop--projector: good @ 1024x768 x 85Hz, no reboot.
I've seen no change from setting this value within grub, either
defoptions=vga=791 or 793. Maybe I'll try just vga= next.
defoptions has to do with the boot loader but I don't know it. It's
possible the boot scripts change the console resolution again?
Could be. "GRUB loading stage 1.5" is also presented within a shrunken
frame.
Then the GRUB CLI's vbeprobe & testvbe are useful & seem relevant:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/vbeprobe.html#vbeprobe
At least you can read & test the screen setting options there, and get
some full-screen colour happening.
But how do I run a mode like 0x123 ?
