Hmm...if neither setting vga=ask in lilo, and subsequently running lilo, nor using the above work, then perhaps you can try installing svgatextmode and use it to set your display. Once installed, run SVGATextMode -s to scan and print all available text modes. Then run it with the text mode of choice. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
