RE: [SLE] lilo.conf and vga/vesa screen resolution
Hello,
Can someone point me to the "vga=???" numerical specs for changing the screen resolution in lilo.conf.

Thank you, Anders. I noticed "vga=794" works with some monitors, but what is "794" referring to? Thanks again, ~James

Also hwinfo --framebuffer will show all the modes supported by your graphics card.

794 is a decimal value, in the table above you have hexadecimal values, you can use either. 794 decimal is 0x31A hex, so it means 1280x1024 at 64k colours
749 (decimal) = 0x31A (hex) B=) On Wednesday 01 June 2005 11:01 am, James D. Parra wrote:

Thanks again,
It's the decimal equivalent of 0x31A :-)
