I have a semi security related question. I prefer to run my console in 800x600 (easier to get everything on the screen to read) and when I compile the 2.2.16 kernel, the video comes up blank right after loading lilo. The system is running perfectly (ssh running, all daemons are up), but no video. I have tested with SuSE 6.3 & 6.4, as well as Slackware 7 on 4 different computers using different video cards. I have recompiled the kernel well over 30 times trying different options and combinations, still a no go. I have also been working with another admin and he's run into the same problem. Between us I *know* we've hit every kernel combination. I'm thinking there might be something else that I need to recompile somewhere, but can't seem to find what it is. I've been searching everywhere for the last month and decided that I'd ask some more experienced admins for their advice. One last thing, if I get the kernel patches for SuSE 6.3/6.4, the resolution works fine, but I'd like to compile my own kernel to get it as small as possible. For the time being I've dropped the console resolution back down to normal (vga=normal instead of vga=788), but if anyone could point me in the right direction or give me some tips on what I can try to get the resolution back up, I would be extremely grateful.
