Add vga=788 to your /etc/lilo.conf (for 800x600 with 16bit) For other resolutions look in Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt in the linux kernel sources. " http://directfb.org/index.php?path=Documentation%2FUser+Manuals%2FFAQ&page=0 are you using grub? afaik in redhat 9, grub is the default bootloader if you do, edit your grub.conf ( /boot/grub/grub.conf )
in the kernel-line , add vga=788 hope it works. -- - sridewa - yogyakarta, indonesia _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
