video resolution in console after compile
Hey all,
I was able to fix this once before by searching by myself, but now I can't find the same info. I recently re-installed and re-compiled and my console is at 640x480, Lilo says to set it at 1024x768x256 "vga=773?". But it's not displaying at that. What did I miss??????? Can anyone help? Thanks, Wolfy |
What kernel version?
|
Thanks for the reply,
Kernel 2.6.7-SMP |
Have you tried reconfiguring either manually or with
Code:
xorgconfig *EDIT: Just realized you said "in console" - are you running videos outside of X (ie: on the CLI)? |
Hmm. Could be a number of things. You might want to check which framebuffer options you compiled into the kernel. I ran into problems specifying drivers other than VESA. In order to get it working right, I had to eliminate everything but the VESA driver for framebuffer. You could also try enabling video mode selection. That way you can put "vga=ask" in your lilo.conf and see what modes are available. When you find the right one, just edit lilo again and set the vga for that mode. Hope this helps.

Okay I tried to isolate the video to only the vesa driver = FAILED
Tried removing agpart = FAILED Tried to set lilo to ask = FAILED I know that there is an answer out there I did it once before...... There has to be something that I am missing only I can't find it....... There has got to be some GURU out there that knows, I am asking for advice, PLEASE! |
