Since the numbers are different after you choose scan, I find it more sane to use one of the hexadecimal mode numbers, which don't depend on the order of the menu displayed by vga=ask. These are documented in Documentation/svga.txt and Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.
