** Description changed: DESCRIPTION I can't use 1280x1024(vga=795) in TTY. When I try to use this, the system dumps this messages shortly after the GRUB menu: >Undefined video mode number: 31b >Press <ENTER> to see video modes .. The best mode that I can use is 1024x768(vga=792). Important: this problem is only TTY related and X and KDE do work in 1280x1024. /boot/grub/menu.lst ... title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-20-generic root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-20-generic root=UUID=21528182-dff0-47d4-94b8-8c510cd0f235 ro vga=795 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-20-generic quiet ...

It was Gutsy Gibbon if I recall correctly. I tried hard to goolge the solution that would fix my problem but no luck. After that I asked at some forums(including NVIDIA forums) but they couldn't help me. Eventually I gave up and got used to 1024x768 even though it was blurry on my LCD. After all, I use Konsole in X so I don't usually have to switch to TTY. I decided to report this problem for the first time here(launchpad) because the things got much worse in Intrepid(even in Alpha 5). I have Hardy and Intrepid on the same computer so I can test them both. The link to the Intrepid Alpha 5 bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/271911 + + See also: bug #391215
