What GPU do you have ?
I have a generic mother boasrd with an AMD Athlon64 K8 1.6 Ghz processor
and a Via Technologies VGA compatible controler. This info came to me
courtesy of the lsmod command.:)
But I did some more digging and I got my full screen back. I had
previously commented out the via line in
/etc/modprobe.d/frame-buffer-blacklist.conf. So I re-enabled that entry
by removing the # mark, put the 'insmod vbe' back in my grub.cfg and
retained the vga=790 entry in the linux entry.
After doing all that, my higher resolution is working again. I don't
seem to have much if any background information to support what I'm
doing with FB support but I like having the higher resolution. It would
be nice to have a fuller understanding of which modules are needed and
which kernel parameters should still be used.
Anyway, thanks for indulging in my experimentation and messing about.
