Hi,i am pretty novice with linux, so my question might be rather stupid. I noticed that when I boot from the cd i have to insert the command fb800x600 to see anything in my old laptop. But i have installed dsl to hdd, and i would like to run this from there. The question is, how (and where) should I insert the command fb800x600 in orther to see dsl without the use of any bootable disk? cheers, vasco Posted by cbagger01 on Sep. 05 2005,18:31
You need to edit your bootloader's config file and change the "vga" line to read:vga=788 and then save the file. Finally, rerun your bootloader to activate the changes. The exact steps are different depending on the type of bootloader program used, IE: lilo vs grub |
