Hi, Thanks to Janina and Jason for their help on this. It's still defeating me however. With grub2 the vga= parameter isn't supported anymore so simply setting vga=xyz isn't an option anymore. Googling gives a bunch of info re setting gfxmode parameters and ensuring a few modules are loaded but I'm still ending up with a 80x25 console. So let me ask the question another way. If anyone is running a newer distro what did they need do to ensure a console with greater than a 80x25 layout?
