Hi,
I had the same problem with my TP600 and NM chip. Now I don't use
svgatextmode at all.
Just add a line to /etc/lilo.conf, like
vga 791
This is 1204x768, 16bpp. (see the table below)
Video Modes 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
8 bpp (256 colors) 769 771 773 775
16 bpp (64K colors) 785 788 791 794
32 bpp (16M colors) 786 789 792 795
Don't forget to use /sbin/lilo.
Jens
Thanks for that.
I tried with 791 but got a blank screen. Waited for all the "noises" to
stop, logged on blind and started X. Then changed the setting to "ask".
I selected the 80x43 and got a display that was around 120 char wide.
Half way through the boot process it switched back to the standard 80x25!
More reading and thinking required I feel:)
