X and Fluxbox :: Booting automatically with fb800x600

Hi all, posted this below in Laptops, not sure if it works better here...

I'm trying to force my Toshiba 4010cdt to boot into fb800x600. The video card supports 1024x768 but the LCD panel doesn't.

Okay, I've been thrashing around at this for a couple more hours. I thought the fb800x600 lines in syslinux.cfg are the cheat codes invoked when fb800x600 is typed in at the boot prompt. So I copied these lines and pasted them into the default section. However it still only boots at 1024x768. If I type fb800x600 it boots at 800x600.

Am I wrong in assuming the fb800x600 lines are executed when fb800x600 is entered at the boot command?

Help?

Thanks.

I replied in the laptops thread.

I assume you are having this problem with X.
Your settings are loaded later. You should try to edit your X's settings...
Or if your screen goes crazy in CLI there might be a solution to add some lines to /opt/bootlocal.sh.

have you tried just adding it to the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst?

If you don't run DSL from CD take kerry's advice.
