Since it appears you aren't using the framebuffer, do this as root: mv /sbin/setsysfont /sbin/setsysfont.bak echo "#!/bin/bash" > /sbin/setsysfont chmod +x /sbin/setsysfont Now set the vga settings how you'd like them, reboot and enjoy. There might be a corrector way of doing it. But like everything in linux, multiple ways exist to skin a cat. All of this nice little trick will be lost whenever you upgrade or reinstall. You can also change some things in mkbootdisk to automatically have it add the proper vga/framebuffer settings when it creates a bootdisk If you decide to use the framebuffer later on, there won't be any need to change this either way because the framebuffer uses a totally different concept, and it basically ignores this setting. -- Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft product. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
