Marcia/Jeff....you need to edit (as root) your /etc/lilo.conf
or your /boot/grub/menu.lst. In /etc/lilo.conf add a line:
vga=xxx
where the xxx is a framebuffer number reflecting a screen
resolution/color depth combination that your monitor can
handle. Here's a table of those numbers:
Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
--------+-------+-------+--------+---------+---------
256 | 769 771 773 775 796
32,768 | 784 787 790 793 797
65,536 | 785 788 791 794 798
16.8M | 786 789 792 795 799
and here's a piece (not all) of a /etc/lilo/conf showing
approximately where the line should be added:
boot=/dev/hda7
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=794
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
If you use grub then that same line needs to be appended to
an already existing line in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
Below is a part of a /boot/grub/menu.lst to show how to add
it:
title linux
kernal (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 vga=788
That's it. :-)
