I placed a "vga=ask" line in my Debian 2.2 lilo.conf file and re-ran lilo. When I re-boot, lilo askes me for video mode. I press "enter" and the following seven modes are listed:
0 0F00 80x25 1 0F01 80x50 2 0F02 80x43 3 0F03 80x28 4 0F05 80x30 5 0F06 80x34 6 0F07 80x69 Then a question asks to "enter mode or scan". I enter "scan" and after a few seconds, these additional modes are listed: 7 0100 40x25 8 0121 100x25 9 0122 100x30 a 0123 132x25 b 0133 132x44 I would like "mode 9". I tried to put "vga=9" and "vga=0122" into my lilo file but when I re-boot, I'm told I chose an invalid mode. How can I get the mode that I want w/o using "vga=ask" and then using the "scan" command? If this can't be done through lilo, is there some sort of command that could change the video modes after boot up? Something I can put into a "rc.local" type of file? BTW... I have tried all the modes and they all work for me. I just want to automatically start in "mode=9". -- --- Christopher W.
