Re: [expert] vga resolution on text mode?
You have to set a vga=xxx string in lilo.conf. Lets' asuume you have a lilo.conf like this: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 read-only vga=7xx ^^^ this is your vga mode You have to set it to vga=791 in order to have a 1024x768 color console. You can set this vga=791 string per kernel image, or for all kernel images - then include this line at the top of lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda vga=791 ... Then just say lilo as root and reboot to see your new beautiful console :-P Read the Framebuffer-HOWTO if you want another (non-1024x768 or with 16/256/etc colors) vga mode. Good luck! Artemio.
