Hi !!
I have finish to install SuSE 7.1 on my IBM ThinkPad 770... KDE works fine at 1224x728 :)
But my console stays at 80X25... it uses only a very small part of the screen... is there any way to use the full Screen ? in any virtual console ?
thanks
add a line like: append="vga=0x0301" to the global section of lilo.conf. I do not know the setting 1224x728. See the SuSE manual for this.
Juergen AFAIK, the hex vga modes may be hardware specific, so proceed with caution. A safe technique is to insert 'vga=ask' in the global section of lilo.conf. Then on the next boot, it'll give you a menu of available modes. When you find one you like, code it in lilo.conf. ...as usual, after any change to lilo.conf, run /sbin/lilo to make it effective.
Yes, that it better. There is a list of modes in the manual, but "ask" is the best option for experimenting. I hope, I memorise that for the next time I am asked. ;-) And you're right: It's a good idea to re-run lilo. With linux I reboot so seldom, that I forget these basic things. ;-) Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
