 |
|
I have an nVidia GeForce 6600 and I used the guide for nvidia-drivers and they work perfctly with X11 and KDE.
But at boot time grub doesn't recognize 1280x1024s resolutions in the vga statement:
vga=0x307 or vga=0x317 or vga=0x319 or vga=0x31B
but it does with all the others.
Plz help 
tell me what i can post to give you more info (i'm quite noob with linux so .... plz be patient  ) |
