How do I change the resolution that's used during booting (when the progress bar is displayed, or F2 for details).
I have changed vga=0x318 in grub, but the nice SUSE blue background is lost after the kernel has loaded and init is running.
I'm trying to figure that one out myself, but I do have some pointers. Changing the VGA value is the first part of the job; the second is setting up the bootsplash screen. You'll need to have the bootsplash package installed and use the splash program to actually install the correct screen at the correct resolution. The VESA-related messages near the beginning of /var/ log/boot.msg will help you see what is happening. Also check out the framebuffer howto. The answer to this question surely belongs in a FAQ and in an article in the SuSE database. Many have puzzled over it and the answer involved several somewhat obscure software components.
