Do you use Grub or Lilo ?

Also, can you post your bootloader file, exemple /boot/grub/grub.conf

I am using grub and I have vga=795 (1280x1024-24) also I tried vga=0x31b with same result. My graphical card (nVidia NV36, GeForce FX 5700LE) don´t support vesa-tng.

When I will arrive to home I will post all my grub.conf.

Bye and Thanks.

Just for exemple, this is my grub :
Code:

#
# Sample boot menu configuration file
#

# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 5
# By default, boot the first entry.
default 1
splashimage=(hd0,8)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=GentooLinux-2.6.18-r3
root=(hd0,8)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda9 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@85 splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2006.1 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd (hd0,8)/boot/fbsplash-livecd-2006.1
#kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda9 video=radeonfb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@75


title=WindowsXP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title=GentooLinux-2.6.18-r2
root=(hd0,8)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r2 root=/dev/sda9 video=radeonfb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@75



I pass directly my setting in grub : 1024x768-32@85

Hi,

this is mygrub.conf:
Code:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.19-r5
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3 vga=795


I have tried with:
Code:

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesafb:1280x1024-24

and with
Code:

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1280x1024-24@60

and the error don't appear but resolution continues being incorrect (I thought: video for vesa-tng and vga for vesa)

Bye and thanks.
