Hi Dave, thank you very much for this hint - video=<something> does the trick. I only wonder why the old entries (that IMHO were meant to do the same, vga=<something>, i. e. vga=0x324) don't work any more. I wouln't have searched for this, as I was accustomed to vga=<something> what actually does not work any more. And, by the way, the only tiny drawback I noted is the fact that the splash has disappeared. But this is by far not as bad as a useless console ..... :-) Thanks again, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
