When I boot my suse 8.1 OS the boot options include the drive info and a "vga=788" parameter. When I leave the vga=788 statement in X fails to start - I get a dull glowing screen - which is nice enough, but doesn't allow for a lot of interaction. I have stumbled onto the fact that removing the vga=788 parameter completely seems to allow X to work as billed. So my question: "What is this vga=788 specifying and how can I remove it or correct it so it works properly?" <snip>
To remove the VGA parameter, launch <yast->system->bootloader->modify->next->next->next/> Brings up the sections screen. "Select linux->Edit->expert settings". Select the kernel option and click the edit button, remove the "vga=788" and leave the rest. Click on next, exit the application at which point the changes will be saved. On re-booting, the vga= statement will be absent.
Might be easier to edit as root, /boot/grub/menu.lst, and just delete the text. That is, if he is using grub, not lilo. I didn't notice the first post. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://home.indy.rr.com/paka @ http://counter.li.org icq#173753138
