I had the same issue in my case to solve it on my nvidia card i used the grug kernel option vga=0x369 btw that is 1680x1050 16 bit, to find out the max your card can do. use the vbeinfo command at the grub prompt to get the value your card supports and all issues should be resolved. btw this same issue plagued me every time i used the nvidia binary driver not an issue with nouveau drive since the modeset option handles this. Hope that helps. _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
