lilo boot screen size


my dumb ass cant seem to remeber how i changed my boot screen size. its default right now and i want to make it 1280x1024. i could just edit the /etc/lilo.conf if im correct but the way i did this before was by using some gui front end for lilo. i just cant remember its been too many months now. could someone refresh my memory. running red hat 8.0

thanks,
AD

not sure how to compute it but here's for the 1024x768@256 line from a defulat lilo.conf of slack.

# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga=773

u can declare this line within the global section of your lilo.conf (use vi or pico or gedit - as long as you are root).

then run /sbin/lilo -v to apply the changes.

hth.
