Laptop's Screen Resolution changes after boot
Well, this has happened numerous times before when I had other distros, Ubuntu, Mint,and even Fedora, and then it didn't bother me because I had a GUI and a Desktop Manager, but now it's become a bit of a problem. I can read it okay, but I'd like to have it full resolution again. I'll post a link below
http://s1229.photobucket.com/albums/...op_Problem.jpg Not easy to see what I typed, but I've tried adding "vga=773" to my kernel line but it didn't help. What do I do? *I hope I'm not being incoherent* |
Another thing, I noticed that whenever UDev was doing it's thing, immediately afterwards the screen's resolution changed again. Is there a way to configure UDev?

Try to go in linux control panel (Configure your Computer) type root password then enter. go to hardware tab then select set up graphical server. May be this one help also. http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Drakx11 |

@theif519: The behavior you describe is cause by kernel mode setting (KMS). You should be able to specify the resolution you want with a kernel parameter like video=1024x768. Just add that to your kernel line in Grub. |

Arch Linux doesn't have a boot splash by default, which bootsplash are you referring to?

OP, why don't you try removing the "vga=xxx" from the boot totally?? I know on my screen (openSUSE 11.4), it is vga=1314, but if I remove it, it changes my boot resolution only. Doesn't affect my X settings. |

That one, but is it only available for Virtual Machines only? The one I installed in the Virtual Machine a while back looked a lot different from the current one on my laptop. Is it possible to get the arch logo or the tux penguin logo like that one? |
Sorry, but I didn't see a boot splash in that video.

This logo shows up if you use a framebuffer console. I have set up my workstation (with LILO as bootloader) to change to the native resolution of my monitor (1680x1050x24) at boot, using the parameter vga=0x0369. This way I get one penguin per core at boot time. I don't know if this will also work with grub, but I think it should.

I have tried this on my laptop, it doesn't work. Seems to be dependent on the video-card, since I have almost identical setups on my machines.

I'm sorry guys, I feel like an idiot. Instead of adding it to the Kernel line, I added it to the init.d instead, and since the resolution was originally so low on it, I thought the kernel line ran on into the next. I fixed it, though. Thanks for the advice guys. vga=773 worked
