Same kind of deal. You'd edit the kernel line of /boot/grub/grub.conf
and add something from the table to the end like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ vga=0x318
(note => vga=<something from table>
The table that was posted got a little scambled by mail encoding but
I think it works like this:
The first line is a list of various resolutions:
640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
The left column is the number of colors, so you'd find your hex
representation by coming across from the desired number of colors.
(I chose 16m) and go to the figure under the desired resolution.
(I chose 1024x768) Giving me 0x318
Number of
Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
256 0x301 0x303 0x305 0x307
32k 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x319
64k 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x31A
16M 0x312 0x315 0x318 0x31B
So I added `0x318' to the kernel line of grub.conf.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ vga=0x318
You can try various combos to get the size you want. It will depend
to some degree on the quality of your monitor.
I'm not sure how one arrives at the figures in the table. Maybe some
math formula. Someone here will probably know.
