maybe someone knows, I could not find a how-to on this one.
In Lilo you change the rezolution by adding
vga=787 (790, 791 e.t.c), how you accomplish the same thing in GRUB?
---
to overwrite Lilo with GRUB:
# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
and back:
# /sbin/lilo
---
my new splash image for GRUB :
add 'vga=xxx' (where xxx is the vid mode) to end of the line that starts with 'boot'
figured out after 6-th reboot :
Code:title Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinz ro root=/dev/hda2 vga=790
initrd /initrd-2.4.19
so if you have 1024x768... which is the vga resolution?
Here you go
< searching keywords >Quote:
The vga=791 sets your console to a resolution of 1024x768 16 Bit
and /boot/initrd is what contains the the splash picture.
NOTE: VGA color depth vs resolution chart
depth------640x480-----800x600-----1024x768-----1280x1024
256----------769----------771-----------773-------------775
32000-------784----------787-----------790-------------793
65000-------785----------788-----------791-------------794
16.7 Mill.----786----------789-----------792-------------795
vga mode modes console resolution grub lilo
if my display is 24 bit in x... will setting it to 16 cause a problem
and I searched for "grub resolution" didn't think about vga... sorry
It shouldn't.Quote:
