|
|
When booting my kernel it would change the font to make it look smaller and cleaner, and it would show colored text and look very nice but after i recompiled it doesnt do it anymore? Its just the big grey text and it doesnt look nearly as good. How do you change that? |

Code: | Device Drivers ->
Graphics support ->
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
[*] Enable firmware EDID
--- Frame buffer hardware drivers
...
Console display driver support ->
[*] Video mode selection support
<*> Framebuffer Console support |

I enabled everything except video mode selection support because i couldnt find it, and it still doesnt work. Any ideas? Or maybe the name of that option is changed in 3.11.6? |
