Any suggestions? > I dont't like using X, and 800x600 doesn't look good on my LCD monitor... If you don't mind editing kernel code, take a look at /sys/dev/syscons/. Search for code blocks wrapped by #ifdef SC_PIXEL_MODE, find things that look like they're working with 800x600 mode, and duplicate them so they also handle 1024x768. send-pr the patches when you're done :) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
