Take a look into /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Framebuffer-HOWTO.html for a general explanation of how to set it up. Otherwize here you have the relevant part of that file: Colours 640x400 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200 --------+----------------------------------------------------- 4 bits | ? ? 0x302 ? ? ? 8 bits | 0x300 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307 0x31C 15 bits | ? 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319 0x31D 16 bits | ? 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A 0x31E 24 bits | ? 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B 0x31F 32 bits | ? ? ? ? ? ? It might be that you have to translate these hexadecimal values into decimal form to enter them at kernel boot manually. However, within lilo.conf, it works with the hexadecimal values directly. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
