Works here without framebuffer support I'm no expert but have a few observations on this. My card is an nvidia geforce 2mx dual head, and I use lilo rather than grub. vga=0x164 in lilo.conf works for me and I don't have framebuffer support compiled. vga=ask will give you a list to choose from and a prompt to type your choice, typing "scan" at the prompt will give you a different list again. IIRC you get different lists if you compile framebuffer support. framebuffer causes console lockups for me when switching to x with ctrl-alt-f7, something to do with nvidia drivers. I can switch from x ok, but can't switch back, which is why I don't use it. You may also want to alter or disable the console font in /etc/rc.conf Hope that helps :) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Condon Thomas A KPWA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Gentoo-Users (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 5:50 PM > Subject: [gentoo-user] Screen resolution in console mode > > > > > > Folks, > > > > When I boot off the CD (Gentoo 1.4_RC4) I get small fonts and lines for my > > screen resolution by default.
