Hello everyone. DSL Rocks! Anywho, using a livecd, is it possible to set the video resolution to 800x600x16? I know that I can do it manually, but I would like it if every time i start DSL it automatically went to 800x600x16.
Thank You,
Pickletech

there's a lilo/grub command line that controls that.
dont' take my word on it, but it's something like `linux vga=800x600`

just read the docs for the exact syntax

thank you. but do you know of any way to set it to automatically do it? i am just wondering, because i am setting up DSL as a thin client, and the users it is intended for are not too computer savvy. anything i can do to automate the process the better.
Thanx Again,

hmm, actually i guess that wasn't what i wanted. When i tried that it doesnt tell me i "passed an undefined mode number" but then just brings me into xvesa setup. can't i just change the xvesa defaults?

Press the F3 key and try booting using the framebuffer code for 800x600x16

Then use the xfbdev driver.

Booting with:

fb800x600

might also work, but I don't know if it is 16bit or 32bit.
