problem after compiling my kernel
hi all,
yesterday i compiled my kernel on slackware 10.. and i managed to compile it successfully. but the problem is when i reboot in to the newly compiled system, the display become big due to the low screen resolution (maybe 800*600). because, before this the resolution is 1024*768 and there is a penguin logo at up-left of the terminal and the font size is quite nice to my eyes. fyi, i dont installed any x windows on my slackware. i also changed my screen resolution size in /etc/lilo.conf to 1024*768 after noticed the big font but nothing happened when i reboot the pc... please help/guide me to get it back to my old screen resolution. thanks in advance.... |
After making the changes in lilo.conf, did you make sure to run /sbin/lilo ?
|
yeah... i already run /sbin/lilo

Perhaps then there is still something you forgot to compile in your kernel configuration..
This is from the 2.6 series, but there still should be something like this in the 2.4 series..(You also did not specify if you are running a recompiled 2.4 series kernel, or the new 2.6 series) this is an example taken from my .config file from 2.6.14.4, and so I don't know what graphic card chipset you are running, but this should give you an idea, but overall these are the settings you should look over again, I2C support/I2C Algorithms, Graphics support, Console Display, and Logo config. Code:
# I2C support Then choose the right graphics card, also notice the FB option, that is the framebuffer, and so this is what we are trying to get to work correctly. Code:
# Code:

my pc use sis530 chipset for graphic card.

Hello slazer,
instead of suggesting u some solution i would like to ask you about the steps u followed for compiling the kernel. actually whenever i compile my slacware 10.0 2.4.26 kernel..i loose the sound . i've experience of successfully compiling RH9 and except the sound issue, the new kernel of slackware works fine everytime. regards |
i solved it.. it was my mistake to miss including the support for agpgart and something like " graphic for console" in the menuconfig... now it's all ok.. thanks Jeebizz for giving the idea...
rudraa: sorry dude.. my slackware pc doesnt have sound card (doesnt have any windows manager, so no need sound for that pc).. |
