It simply doesn't make sense to offer resolutions, for which no vesa mode exists. I would like to have the same implemented for vesa. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

* what you want requires all "hacks" done for fbdev to become re-implemented for vesa.

It should be less hacks than for fbdev, since there's no need to patch /boot/grub/menu.lst. Would it be possible to extract the patch from SVN, which was necessary for fbdev? I think that Matthias and/or me could do the patch for the vesa driver.

I'm sorry I'm not willing to do this. One default if there is no real driver working is enough

Well, it's not really under our control in which virtual machine openSUSE will be installed. But a VESA BIOS seems to be something which is always available. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Needs some minutes though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
