Things got better when I reinstalled and discovered I can install F15 on a ext2 partition, and such a partition can actually be created with the install disc. This enabled me to mount the F15 partition RW in FreeBSD which has a sane console resolution and font, so I can actually read and edit the F15 configuration files. So far I have disabled the grub background and unhidden the grub menu. Surprisingly enough, grub has a more-or-less acceptable font and resolution. Unfortunately even though I set BOOTUP to verbose, the teardrop screen comes up and wipes out the grub resolution and font and also wipes out any VGA setting done at boot. Evidently the teardrop represents the trail of tears on the quest for an legible console font and resolution. So, my issue is how to keep the teardrop screen from coming up, and how to stop the resetting of the console resolution that accompanies. I have been through every file in systemd configuration without finding a likely suspect. (Meanwhile, busy trying to re-create en_US.iso88591 locale which seems somehow to have got lost.) -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
