Hello folks, recently I accidentally hosed my old kernel image (it was something that ended on -k7). The only reason I'd kept it was because I couldn't get anything but the ugly boxy 80-by-something text mode console fonts to work with the 2.6.26-x-686 line of Debian prepackaged kernels.
Anyway, rather than try and go hunting for an old -k7 kernel I'd like to finally get a decent video mode working on with a current 2.6.26-2-686 (stable release). Long story short, when I put "vga=ask" in grub's menu.lst, I can't enter anything but the 80-by-something modes. I've searched the Net up and down, have tried the 0x30... modes in hex, in decimal , with the '0x' and without ... nothing. The kernel simply doesn't know any additional modes (and doesn't list them. either). What can I do? I like working in the console a lot, but I need more and better-looking characters on screen.
