Laptops :: lcd resolution



On my Toshiba laptop I use:
boot: knoppix vga=789

 :D
yes my laptop works great with windows , Knoppix and morphix but these distros are too big I like the fact that DSL is very small
try everything...start at 640x480x4b to maximal res of your notebook...or try framebuffer server (the first one in the X config wizard...)
bleee WIZARD...that sound's like MakroShaft
Now, I just went and did a fancy HD install on this thing, and it works great in framebuffer mode.  However, the res on it is 1024x768, and this Thinkpad 380XD doesn't fit that - it only fits 800x600 - how do I set it up so that it boots into that fancy thing you were talkinga bout with those modes or whatever, so it boots into framebuffering of 800x600 ?

I tried with the xvesa with all combos of 800x600 and every depth from 4bit to 32bit and none of them worked - I got wierd coloured vertical lines across the screen that made it so you couldn't see anything.  Any suggestions ?
Boot with "knoppix fb800x600" or edit /etc/lilo.conf and add "fb800x600" to the append line. Then don't forget to rerun lilo.
