i have installed and configured uvesa and it works well. it seems like i was able to get 1920x1080 and now the max i can go is 1280x1024? is there a solution to this?
maybe a kernel setting?

Thank you[/quote]

What kind of video card do you have?

If you've got ATI, Nvidia, or Intel, and you're not using a proprietary driver, you should just be using kernel modesetting without uvesafb.

Per one of his last threads (I was helping him with some other stuff), proprietary nvidia driver with a GTX470

uvesafb is mostly foreign territory to me, so i havent an idea beyond that.
