[SOLVED] Grub vga=o335 -- Non number not working

jchambers · 04-01-2010, 02:50 PM

Hello --

These tries do not work...

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet vga="o335" splash

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet vga=335 splash

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet vga=0x14F splash

Each time a get an error.
Something like "Hit <ENTER> to view possible resolutions."
I do and enter in o335 and it works.

o335 VESA ==> 720x400@16

How do I enter this into the grub so it will work?
I am using splashy on Debian 5.

Thanks,
Jon

Its probably 0335 not o335.
But your video card may not support that strange resolution at that color depth.

Thanks for the reply.
No go though...

Here is a screenshot of the possible resolutions.

Maybe try just 'o'.

Woo-hoo, thanks for your help.
You got me thinking about it differently.

Turns out it was vga=0x0335
