chagger, thank you for the help but thats not what i need help with. I can get everything to display just fine. I just go to XVesa once DSL loads. What I need help with is getting it to do it automatically, as in you just press enter at the boot prompt and it will automatically go to 800X600X16. Is there any way to change the defaults for XVesa? thank you for your help and patiencePickletech,
I have the exact same need, so if you find a solution, please drop me a message and I'll do the same if I come across one.
I'm actually following a similar idea using vga=788 in the isolinux.cfg file. I'll keep you posted with my results.no problem emaynard. i am assuming i have to change the .xserverrc file, but whenever I do and remaster it it always gets changed. anyone got any ideas?If you want this from the CD, then you could edit the linuxrc in the minirt24.gz file and add the vga or whatever code you use and append it to the $CMDLINE variable and then remaster the CD:
Follow the remaster guides but instead of simply copying the minirt24.gz file into the newcd/boot/isolinux do the following:
gunzip minirt24.gz mount -o loop ./minirt24 /mnt/temp cd /mnt/temp vi linuxrc
(after the CMDLINE=$(cat /proc/cmdline) ) CMDLINE=$($CMDLINE vga=blah)
And follow the rest of the normal remaster commands. There may be a better place to do this since this is truely a hack and not a true solution, but it would work. If it is in a hard drive install or frugal install, change the lilo boot loader's APPEND line to add in the code there.

In my case it wouldn't be changed, but it would be ignored for some reason and default to 1024*768.Next Page...
