When it boot it should give to option to try different modes, and you can enter 'scan' which will try to determine which mode are suppoorted.

In debian v3, the virtual console's resolution is deeper than 80*25, it's like 43 lines or something (i cannot remember, and i'm typing from another box now). My question is, where is this controlled? and how to change it back to 80*25 if I want to ? Thanks, -tk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
