As an experiment, from googling, I have added this: GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768x32 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1366x768x32 to /etc/default/grub, when # update-grub2 and rebooted. Strange effect was achieved, I have seen 1366x768 at the grub's initial boot moment, where counter counts from 5 seconds to zero and then console switched back to 640x480. These bright 5 seconds were enjoyable, though... Grub restored to the original state and I continue googling. I just wonder, if there a standard tool with 'howto' how to change a console resolution in Debian? Or, wiki instructions maybe? -- Sincerely Yours' Mark Goldshtein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
