console resolution on boot

ixefs · 12-21-2003, 02:32 PM

hi:

i installed slackware 9.1 on my machine at work. all is well, i'm just slightly irritated as follows:

during boot process my console is at 80x25 text.

about half-way through, the screen goes blank and i'm in some graphical resolution (very small text).

why is this?

i have the same install at home, but without this change in resolution.

any help is appreciated.

thank you,

efs

Edit your lilo and change your vga mode from whatever number it is to vga = normal
