I think I'm using lilo.. since I don't hae /boot/grub, (How would I know for sure I'm using lilo??) In lilo.conf, I DO have vga = 791, but still it doesn't pick up the correct resolution without me manually setting it at boot option.... -----Original Message----- From: Volker Maag [mailto:volker.maag@uni-konstanz.de] Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 5:12 PM To: suse-laptop@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-laptop] Configuring boot options VGA - newbie question On Saturday 01 February 2003 04:55 pm, Lee, Insoo wrote:
Hello, At the start up, I always have to hit escape key and type in
linux 3 vga=791
for boot options (before the bar runs away) in order to get the right resolution and get xstart to work. Where would I configure this so that I don't have to type this in everytime I reboot? Thanks for your help in advance! If you use grub as boot manager: /boot/grub/menu.lst there should be two lines like title linux kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 vga=xxx change "vga=xxx" to "vga=791" or add it if it is missing. If you don't want to start xserver immediately after booting add "3" to the line as well. If you use lilo: /etc/lilo.conf add the following line to the global options section vga=791 or change it to the correct value if any such line like vga=xxx already exists. (I am not too sure about that since I use grub)
