That was a very nice tip. I must have known it sometime or at least seen it but had totally forgotten how to search in make menuconfig dialog. I've found the settings and now recompiling... so I'll know soon if it is done or still needs work. By the way about the vga= setting. I grabbed a chart from some where long ago showing the notation I was using: ## 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 ## 256 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307 ## 32k 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319 ## 64k 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A ## 16M 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B do you know of a chart that shows the decimal notation like you posted? (Its not in `man vga') And I don't recall where I got that from... where ever it was, it probably also has the decimal equivalents. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
