~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (your mail would be easier to read with lines <= 72 chars. Using mutt w/ vim: edit to "/usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax/muttrc.vim": set textwidth=72 ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your /etc/TextConfig (configuring svgatextmode) seems still to have the default mode "80x25" activated. Using "svgatextmode" obsoletes any boot parameter for a graphic card, as "svgatextmode" will substitute it's settings anyway. Setting up your "chipset" configuration w/in /etc/TextConfig is still up to you. (Maybe you can get clock settings from SuperProbe.) (few lines from /etc/TextConfig): ############################################################################# # # Optionally define the "default" mode, which will be called when # SVGATextMode # is started _without_ a mode definition string. # ## DefaultMode "80x25" DefaultMode "100x37x9_SVGA" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
