Reply with quote

When I try to change the resolution in the console nothing hapens. I have added VGA=791 to grub.conf

Code:

kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdxy VGA=791

And in the kernel I have enabled:
Console drivers -->
VGA text console
Frame-buffer support -->
Support for frame-buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL)
VESA VGA Graphics console

Are there something I have missed?

I had to had the following in order to get a different resolution:

Code:

vga=0x318 video=vesa

So you probably need to add "video=vesa" in order for it to work.... I'm no expert on framebuffers (yet

) so don't quote me on that...

change your line in grub.conf to read:

Code:

kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdxy vga=0x318 video=vesa

Also... make sure you did NOT capitalize vga.. I just noticed that. And make sure /dev/hdxy is replaced with the correct root partition
