Doesn't appear to make any diff 80%/100%,
What does fbset -s report in the VM?
from tty1 after booting w/o vga=/video= : mode "1280x1024-77" # D: 131.096 MHz, H: 80.328 kHz, V: 76.649 Hz geometry 1280 1024 1280 1024 32 timings 7628 160 32 16 4 160 4 rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24 endmode
Which video= string(s) did you try?
video=1920x1200x16 is actual monitor size video=1600x1200x16
Did you find some authoritative doc that says either of those is valid? Try 'dmesg | grep video', and again after a restart with s/1200x16/1200@60/ or s/1200x16/1200/.
did "dmesg |grep video" after each boot but only saw 1200 displayed in kernel boot line except when using 1600 and no video parameter was displayed. none change the ~80% displayed text area, ttyX
Also if you haven't already tried it, skip video= and vga= both. If your EDID is good I would expect you (on hardware) to get 1920x1200 by default. On my NEC CRT with up to 2048x1536 supported via video=, including x16 or using no video= results here with M2 on Intel 945 chip in the CRT's PreferredMode=1600x1200.
Samsung SyncMaster 2433bw in vbox which provides it's own video (card/driver), see: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/vbox_video.jpg note: /etc/fb.modes contains 1600x1200 (60,66,76). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
