Hello,
I tried to add several codes to my grub.conf to modify the resolution, but I can't get anything to work!
My latest and shorten attempt is:
| Quote: |
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.8 root=/dev/hda3 nolapic video=1024x768-32@60 |
Any comment is more than welcome  cos' I getting mad with this small thingie that I can't get to work!
Ludo

are oyu talking about framebuffer? Then you have to enable it the kernel, afterwards you can vga=xxx where you look xxx up from the table below
| Code: |
# vga=xxx sets the framebuffer console to a specific resolution.
# Here is a table you can use so it can help you decide
# what resolution you want to use:
# colour depth | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
# 256 (8bit) | 769 771 773 775
# 32000 (15bit) | 784 787 790 793
# 65000 (16bit) | 785 788 791 794
# 16.7 Mill. (24bit) | 786 789 792 795
|
to enable framebuffer in the kernel, go into Device Drivers, Graphics Support, compile in | Code: |
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
....
[*] VESA VGA graphics support
|
Then in the same graphics section go into "Console display driver support ---> "
| Code: |
--- VGA text console
[*] Video mode selection support
< > MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL) <*> Framebuffer Console support
[ ] Select compiled-in fonts
|
[/code] |
