There are other switches you could use, i.e. -k for kernel name, -i for initrd name, etc. I'm not sure but I think it may check menu.lst or maybe something else to see what your frame buffer is set for, and automatically use that for the -s resolution if not specified. BTW, are you sure your card supports a 1600x1200 frame buffer? -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Boot Splash not available when 10.3 installed without CD
Hi, I installed openSUSE 10.3 GNOME CD version by following the document. (http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD). Installation was successful without any error. when i boot into the installed system there is no boot spalsh screen, it prints the booting process (just scrolling text) and then displays Login screen (gdm). the boot splash package is installed and the kernel line in the grub(menu.lst) also has the argument for splash, files related to the boot splash is also available in the etc directory. is there any way to get the boot splash screen. regards, c.s.prakash. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
