Try setting the video parameter to the native resolution for your monitor. The vga value to use can be found in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt, using the best matching value seems to be sufficient. You have to experiment a bit at the grub boot prompt, and for some graphic card/display combinations the VESA mode is not going to work at all. // Anders
