Its a litle more complex than just vga=ext and it is not under the boot manager kernel options like lilo. U may need to modify rc.conf ttys and kernel configuration. I include some of my settings but some of them are for Greek console support though :) Check out the rc.console script. It will give you a good start. rc.conf example: cursor="destructive" allscreens_flags="132x43" saver="blank" font8x8="iso07-8x8" font8x14="iso07-8x14" font8x16="iso07-8x16" scrnmap="iso-8859-7_to_cp437" keyrate="fast" keymap="el.iso07" tty example: ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons43 on secure U probably also need to include vga VESA support in your kernel. options VESA Regards, Lefteris Rotaru Razvan wrote: > > Hello, > > Do you know that line in /etc/lilo.conf (vga=???) that sets a different > screen resolution (vga mode) in linux?
