I have changed the command line via /boot/grub/menu.lst to Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda5 ro vga=0x0361 resume=/dev/sda8 modeset=1 Should I see anything about KMS in the /var/log/messages file or in Xorg.0.log? Mouse cursor still invisible in highest resolution for the Dell 19" screen. At 1152x864 it is there, but as soon as I change to the native 1280x1024 it's gone.
