Hello,
I've been trying the following grub.conf boot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=intelfb,mode=1280x768...@60
but no luck (that is I get the 80x25 console). The only working format
appears to be
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 vga=xxx
where xxx does not accommodate the mode above. In fact nothing will work
unless I use vga="something"; and that appears to be sufficient.
Am I using the incorrect video=... syntax?
Below follows relevant lines from /var/log/messages
Thanks,
