No, it's that the installer uses the framebuffer X driver, so resolution is dependant on the framebuffer mode, which defaults to 800x600, which will alias badly on 1024x768 (not so badly on 1600x1200 of course, if you have the res ...). > Guess there's no easy way to fix that. There's always a way: vgahi at syslinux prompt (does it for me). (BTW, since we have mostly NVidia cards here, our default network bootdisk is vgahi ...) > > Same for the bootsplash screen... the image file jpegs look fine in > gnome, even at 1:1 scaling.
