Having had to change my monitor I found out that my reserve monitor, from an unknown producer, did not show the console booting process and was unreadable in console. After changing in Lilo the vga from 791 to normal everything was readable again. What does this 791 mean? It seems to have been written at instalation time. Could somebody explain? Just curiosity. -

791 means change to resolution 1024x768. Most 17" monitor can do this & only newer 15" can do this. Old 15" can't do the 791.

If you have the kernel source installed, look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb. 791 is the code for VESA mode that should be used. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: philippt@t-online.de
