 |
|
Gentoo has been great so far. I am just having trouble getting grub to load in 80 x 50 video mode. I know with lilo all I had to do was put vga=ask in the config file. Is this possible with GRUB? If so, what are the setting to enter into menu.lst?
Thanks,
Mike Rizzo |

Works the same way. After your root delcaration in your menu.lst file add vga=ask
Example:
| Code: |
title=My example Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 vga=ask

| i think you can also change resolutions when running x by pressing ctrl-alt and then the + and - keys...it should cycle throught he resolutions you have in your xf86config file for that depth |
