That's ^ probably the problem. If you're using the proprietary NVidia drivers you don't have KMS and need to do the following:- NOTE: not tested on 3.x kernels # apt-get install v86d # modprobe uvesafb # cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes | sort 1024x768-16, 0x0117 1024x768-32, 0x0118 1024x768-8, 0x0105 1280x1024-16, 0x011a 1280x1024-8, 0x0107 1600x1200-16, 0x0146 1600x1200-8, 0x0145 320x200-16, 0x010e 320x200-32, 0x010f 320x200-8, 0x0130 320x240-16, 0x0135 320x240-32, 0x0136 320x240-8, 0x0134 320x400-16, 0x0132 320x400-32, 0x0133 320x400-8, 0x0131 640x400-16, 0x013d 640x400-32, 0x013e 640x400-8, 0x0100 640x480-16, 0x0111 640x480-32, 0x0112 640x480-8, 0x0101 800x600-16, 0x0114 800x600-32, 0x0115 800x600-8, 0x0103 Pick a mode from the output and add to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub eg:- nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-32,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap Then add the same resolution to GRUB_GFXMODE (I posted an example to http://paste.debian.net/153840/) Now edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules to reflect your *chosen* resolution. eg.:- # echo "uvesafb mode_option=1024x768-32 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Then apply those changes:- # echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash # update-initramfs -u # update-grub You should now have a longer boot time to look at a purdy picture. <snipped> > > Best regards > Ramon > > Cheers -- Iceweasel/Firefox extensions for finding answers to Debian questions:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ NOTE: new update available for Debian Buttons (New button for querying Debian Developer Package):- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/debian-buttons/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
