GRUB and vga=788

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode.

However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a dozen other distros before, and the 'vga=788' line always did the trick.

Any suggestions?
