[opensuse] Is Gfxboot, not the 'master' of Grub(L) bootscreensize setting, in oS122?
Hi List, As the 64GB Runcore of my eee-pc 901 died a sudden death, i use a younger brother/sister, until my new 128GB ssd arrives. As you know, i, as many others, do not like the default bootscreens, so i had to pimp them. My more negative experiences with Grub2, made me decide to use Grub Legacy. It makes use of Gfxboot, with /boot/message. This model has a resolution of 1366x768. These commands change the size in the cfg file, which is true. # gfxboot --change-config 1366x768::screen.size=1366,768 1366x768::mainmenu.pos=400,200 1366x768::bootopt.pos=200,750 # gfxboot --change-config layout=1366x768,boot However, despite putting the right image size in place, there is no change in the blurry fonts&size, and no image is loaded. I tried this earlier by just altering the cfg file, with no result either. My question: Is there a 'master' setting applied, somewhere, and if: where? to set/change the bootscreen size? Kind regards, Rob. -- Have a nice day.. Oddball.

Is there anybody else here, that might have a clue as why the settings only accept 800x600? -- Have a nice day.. Oddball.

Likely only works with modes supported by both video BIOS and display hardware. I doubt 1366x768 is among any such modes. On such a display I doubt any but 800x600, 640x480 & maybe 1024x768 might be supported by both display and BIOS. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
