 |
|
Hi to all !
I'm running Gentoo on a Toshiba laptop, everything is going fine but since I have switch to the kernel 2.6 a few months ago, my screen resolution has never been larger than 640x480.
I have tried many times to set the resolution in the kernel config via the vesa-fg option, but it don't want to switch to a 1024x768 resolution. I can still use my console but I would very like that it could fit my screen.
I don't know what to change or what to install more, somebody had this little problem before ?
Thanks ! |

hi,
i dunno a specific solution but here's what works for me:
kernel:
| Code: | device drivers -> graphics support -> support for frame buffer devices [*]
vesa vga graphics support [*] -> vesa driver type (vesafb-tng)
console display driver support ->
video mode selection support [*]
framebuffer console support [*] |
and then this as a kernel parameter in the grub.conf:
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768@65 |

I have the same problem, except I am using an HP OmniBook 4150B. I have tried everything listed here, but it still doesn't display in 1024x768.
